STRIKE!: The Game of Worker Rebellion

About this board game

STRIKE!: The Game of Worker Rebellion is a cooperative board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Players become the Strike Council, leading a city-wide worker rebellion against HappyCorp’s plan to control every part of Mercury City.

Players grow their ranks, mobilize workers, and launch strikes across the city while fighting for better livelihoods. Each player chooses one of eight unique characters, including Valentina the Factory Worker and Candace the Firefighter. Every character has individual stats and two unique combinations of powers.

On a turn, players add four actions to their character boards. These actions can add Strikers to the board, stop HappyCorp’s plans, or complete “STRIKE!” cards such as “Take over the Bridge” and “Block HappyCorp Delivery Trucks.” Ally Cards provide additional energy to defend against HappyCorp and support other players’ efforts.

• Coordinate actions and build a city-wide strike.
• Gain support from allies such as dockworkers and teachers.
• Establish bases of support in districts including manufacturing and the university.
• Manage the growing threat of Smile Drones and MegaDrones.

After each player’s turn, a Commercial Break card creates new trouble. It may remove Strikers, drain resources, or add more drones to Mercury City, forcing the Strike Council to act quickly and work together.

The workers win collectively by scoring 15 points and abolishing HappyCorp from the city. HappyCorp wins by reaching 15 points of its own or placing five MegaDrones on the board. In STRIKE!, every decision matters: advance your own objectives, prepare a teammate’s big move, dismantle a MegaDrone, or save energy for the next confrontation.
