Bloc by Bloc is a semi-cooperative strategy board game inspired by 21st century urban insurrection. The game features hidden agendas, deep strategy, area control, asymmetrical player abilities, and a special method for randomly generating billions of unique city layouts. Each player controls a faction of revolutionaries—Workers, Students, Neighbors, or Prisoners—fighting against the authorities to liberate a city that changes with each game. To win, you must cooperate with other factions to defeat the State while carefully balancing your own secret agenda. Build barricades, clash with riot cops, occupy buildings, loot shopping centers, and liberate the city before time runs out and the military arrives!

Be among the first people in your community to play this game that inspires critical thinking and strategizing around collective liberation struggles. Join two of this game’s early testers for a short presentation on the game and a 101 on how to play. Then find your team or join one, and sit down to play at one of our gaming tables. Game experts will be present to support all players and answer any questions.
Bring your friends and comrades for a night of fun game-playing and conversation on the fight against the political and economic tyranny of our times!
About the creators:
OUT OF ORDER GAMES is a game design & publishing collective started by Rocket Lee and Tim Simons in 2015 to self publish Bloc by Bloc. Together we have many years of experience in game design, printing, graphic design, web development, and running worker cooperatives. Our varied experiences in street protests, social movements, and anarchist projects around the world guide our practices and the political choices we make as part of this work. We hope Bloc by Bloc will help lay a strong foundation that will allow us to continue designing, developing, and publishing additional creative and subversive games into the future.
