About the game

What is Power Struggle

This description was originally based on a review from BoardgameNews.com.

In this corporation-themed game, players compete to be the first to acquire four out of six possible victory points. You earn a point by reaching certain numbers along tracks, such as at least 7 on the influence track or 8 on the majority track. You also may earn a point by beating your secretly assigned archenemy on three specified tracks.

The game lasts a number of rounds, with each round consisting of a directors' meeting, followed by 4-7 turns. At the meeting, the "company chairman" is replaced (the next token in line moves up) and the "division heads" are named (by seeing who has the majority in each column of placed cubes). Chairmen and heads get salary bonuses and a card detailing a single advantage for the cardholder.

The player who's the "communications" head then secretly looks at the Event cards and determines in which order they will be played (and so how many turns will be in the current round). Other heads' cards will let them pay less for stocks, for example, or place or remove bits.

Juego de mayorías. El tema esta chulo porque nos recuerda a cualquier empresa medianamente grande donde hayamos estado pero a mi el juego me resulto insípido y plano con varios mecanismos que tomados por separado están bien pero que unidos no forman un juego elegante. El juego tiene curva de aprendizaje porque es complejo, demasiadas acciones entre las que elegir sin un objetivo claro en cada una de ellas, por lo que se necesitan varias partidas para sacarle jugo, el principal problema es que el juego no me atrapo lo suficiente como para tener ganas de volver a jugarlo.
