About the Game

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the division caused by the Cold War, the world opened up gradually to a period of globalized economy in which the modern powers began to vie for world hegemony.

In Statecraft, you will manage the destiny of one of those great powers in its struggle for hegemony. Your first choice will be to select a leader for your power. Then, it will be time to prepare your agenda: use your votes in international organizations to secure their support, obtain allied governments with the help of your influences and have your spies ready in case of conflict. But try to get a good public image achieving your leader's objectives in each round... or everything will become more difficult.

Statecraft is a deeply interactive political board game that reproduces some of the most relevant situations of recent history. It is played in four rounds plus a final bonus points round. At the end, the power with the highest score will be declared the winner of the game.
