About the game
Kapital! is much more than a board game, it is quite simply the first game of critical sociology. It allows you to understand and even experiment with the sociological mechanisms of domination, with a board game as funny as it is thrilling, brought to life by the designer Etienne Lécroart. With family or friends, from 9 to 99 years old, a game to put in all hands to see the world as it is ... and want to change it! So it's your turn to try to win ... the class war! Each player starts on the same line, but one is dominant and the others are dominated, this will determine which fate cards you can draw in each round and your starting capital. At Kapital! you can have 4 different assets: financial, social, symbolic or cultural. On your turn, roll a die and move your pown, then draw a Destiny card. The end of the game is triggered when a player reaches the last space: financial paradise! The winner will be the one who has raised the most funds in each of the capitals.
