Lead the Revolution in Cogs and Commissars Now on Kickstarter

Feb 13, 2018

It’s a robot revolution as Atlas Games has launched a Kickstarter to bring their game Cogs and Commissars to the obshchestvennosti. In the game, each player will lead their robotic faction as they look to rise to the top by any means possible. Steal citizens from your enemies, send others to the gulag, paint the streets in propaganda, and more! Cogs and Commissars for two to six players, ages 14+, and plays in around 20-40 minutes. The project is 100% funded and you can reserve a copy at the $25.00 pledge level.

From Atlas:

Atlas Games is making a cleverly competitive card game about revolutionary robots. We need your help, comrades! Cogs and Commissars is a card game of glorious robot revolution where players control the means of production. Atlas Games, the publisher of Gloom and Lunch Money, envisions a world of totalitarian robots and take-that propaganda. We ask you to join us in bringing this project to life… for the Motherboard!

The rules are simple. You are an inspirational leader, such as Artificial Stalintelligence, Simulenin, or Gorobotchev, with your own faction and your own deck of cards. On your turn, you grow your faction by producing more robot citizens and using propaganda to take citizens from other players to join your chrome-plated cause. You also play cards to send rival robots to the gulag, promote citizens within your faction, revitalize production, and more. Each turn your actions make your faction grow. Once you have enough citizens aligned with your algorithm, you launch your glorious robot revolution. Other factions struggle valiantly to keep you from achieving this goal — only the most stalwart robot faction can win above all others. The revolution will be mechanized!
