Had a quick look in Wikipedia about the Strike then onto Board game Geek. One of the games players was using Lego Figures for meeples which has given me the giggles. Wish there were more games that simulated Social History.
Thanks for the review guys. I am thinking about using this in a university course I teach and it sounds perfect in terms of complexity, weight, and its focus on engaging with the spaces around us. I am a historian who is going to be teaching a world geography course and am hoping I might find games like this to use as teaching tools - the students will pair off in small groups and teach the games. Any suggestions for similar games? For reference I am thinking about using Pan Am (for understanding monopolies) Votes for Women (politics) and Plague Inc/Rattus/Pandemic (for the interaction between disease and human activity.) Happy for anyone to drop recommendations here - but feel free to drop me a DM as well.
I really liked Heading Forward. I beat it with almost every skill as the trauma skill. And I like seeing that this game exists, about such a specific topic - but the theme isn't for me.

So, no flintlocks then? 😊
