Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game

Review of the boardgame: Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game Excerpt: : "As a boardgame for up to 4 players focusing on the tactics of urban resistance, Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game is a rather novel offering. ‘Insurrection’ has some specific definitional use in Marxist and Bolshevik theory, broadly as a mass-based proletariat uprising organized and directed by the party of the proletariat (Lenin, 1972, p.22), while it has been used in relation to resistance against global neoliberal capitalism (Danaher & Mark, 2003) and nonviolent resistance (see Zunes, 1994)."

Abstract

Review of the boardgame: Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game Excerpt: : "As a boardgame for up to 4 players focusing on the tactics of urban resistance, Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game is a rather novel offering. ‘Insurrection’ has some specific definitional use in Marxist and Bolshevik theory, broadly as a mass-based proletariat uprising organized and directed by the party of the proletariat (Lenin, 1972, p.22), while it has been used in relation to resistance against global neoliberal capitalism (Danaher & Mark, 2003) and nonviolent resistance (see Zunes, 1994)."
