Description

Game Overview
The Powerclash Game represents the struggle (“clash”) between influential people (“power”) to control the world’s resources, institutions and people. There are many types of “power” including economic, political, military, technological, or the power of ideas. The Powerclash game uses economic concepts of resources (land, labor and capital) representing the differing resource endowments in diverse places. World events also influence the efforts of powerful people as they clash to control our world.

Game Objective
Create a dream team of influential world leaders and attack your opponents using resources from various places. Events have specific effects on your attacks and sometimes help you recover.

Game Play
This is a turn-based card game. Each player has 1-3 active leader cards in play who attack the opponent’s 1-3 active leaders. Attacks require resources, which are provided by the place cards. Event cards indicate small changes to attacks, or may have effects between turns. There are 40 leader cards, 30 place cards, 30 event cards, and 8 direction cards. There are also multiplayer and team options. Have fun!!!
