Modern Society is a game about our time, the world we live
in. It covers aspects from Equality to Organic Food, from War in Iraq to Torture
Scandal, to Youth Culture, Women's Priesthood and beyond. Those are but few
aspects the players wrestle with as they try to convince the deep rows of the
people behind their own agenda.
The players all live in the same society
and seek influential power to leave their mark on the surrounding world. The
people's opinions, what they feel and think, is determined by four societal
values - militarism, economy, human values & green values.
The
players have game cards which become hot topics in the society once they are
played. They will become the issues the imaginary townsfolk talk in coffee
tables, what they read from the news and what shapes their view on the world.
These issues then shape the four values, but also bring points through them.
This means that the more militaristic the society is the more militaristic
influence points you get from cards like 'Raise in Defence Budget' or 'War on
Terrorism'. With these points you then push through laws that focus on that
value. Only these law cards that the players have pushed through with their
political influence they get victory points. And as each value has limited
amount of laws there is a race who stands as the best advocate for each
value.
Most cards have special abilities that makes them stronger with
certain other cards (i.e. Feminism with Equality) or for example prevent certain
points to be scored (i.e. Torture Scandal on militarism points or UN in Crisis
on Human value points).
As the game proceeds the players try to sell
their world view to the masses. But whether the well-being of the people is
trampled as the players thirst for power and whether that society is still worth
defending for? That is what the players decide all over again during each game
they play the Modern Society.
