Description

The story of Which Side, The postal game struggle takes place in New York, during the winter of 1910-1911 and stages homes of workers who try to survive and organize themselves to take control of the means of production before the employers become too powerful.

Gameplay: Each turn, you'll have to deal with employer offensives that affect workplace hazards, housing insalubrity or police threats. It's up to you to counter them, while paying the cost of living in order to survive, and of course generating surplus resources (strikes, sabotage, etc.) to take control of the means of production.  Place the 5 workers in your Tenement wisely to strike the right balance between survival and struggle. But beware: illness, accident or prison are never far away.
