Revolution

This game is designed to allow a group of students in a discussion section or small classroom to explore the decision space of social and political groups in early modern colonies in relation to overseas empires. This ruleset represents a simple abstraction of economic and political relations of colonial uprising only. It is hoped that later modules and instructor discretion will specify and augment these rules in service to more precise pedagogical purposes.
This game is an early prototype, so feedback is appreciated. If you use this system in your classroom, please share your experience and any modifications you made in the comments. I hope to ultimately create a library of mods which will allow this ruleset to express more specific lessons such as simulating specific historical conditions, simulating the presence of interefering external powers or dividing the colonies between competing Empires. or simulating the relationship between local colonial governments, colonized people, and imperial powers.
