‘Bloc by Bloc Second Edition’ Hits Kickstarter

May 15, 2018

I reviewed the second edition of Bloc by Bloc on yesterday’s show and scored it an 8.5/10 while today marks the first day of the game’s Kickstarter run. Out of Order Games has revamped the title a bit by providing more depth to the game while also streamlining play. If you already have the first edition you can reserve an upgrade kit for a $15.00 pledge or score the second edition, plus unlocked stretch goals, for a $45.00 pledge. The project runs through June 14th with expected delivery in November of this year.

From Out of Order:

Bloc by Bloc: The Insurrection Game is a semi-cooperative strategy tabletop game inspired by 21st century protest movements, riots and popular uprisings. Out of Order Games is excited to launch this thoroughly updated 2nd edition featuring brand new art, streamlined gameplay, improved components and new objectives for the insurrection!

In Bloc by Bloc, each player controls a faction of revolutionaries—Workers, Students, Neighbors, or Prisoners—fighting against the State in the streets of a city that change with each game. Build barricades, clash with riot cops, occupy districts, loot shopping centers, and liberate the city before time runs out and the military arrives! Bloc by Bloc features hidden agendas, deep strategy, area control, asymmetrical player abilities, and a special method for randomly generating billions of unique city layouts.

In 2016, the first edition of Bloc by Bloc was published by Out of Order Games after a successful Kickstarter. The development of this provocative and educational game had taken more than five years, drawing inspiration from social insurrections in cities around the world such as Oaxaca, Athens, Oakland, Cairo, Istanbul, Ferguson, and many others. Upon its release, the game sold out in one month. It has been in demand and out of print ever since. Until now…
