Samoorganizujmy się!

In XIX-th and at the beginning of XX-th century in many places in Poland people decided to set up cooperatives. Some of them gathered farmers, others bakers, milkmen and weavers or gathered people of different jobs. In Samoorganizujmy się players set up their own cooperatives, employ workers, build common buildings, meet famous social activists and participate in bigger projects, that onvolve many cooperatives. All cards contain historical photos and illustrations and most of them show real historical people, places, institutions or projects. Game gives players not only fun, but also real historical knowledge about history of cooperativity in Poland. In each turn players simultaneously play one card from their hand and add it to their tableau, finally they pass all cards remaining in their hand to the player on their left. Blue and red cards improve their production (which allows them to play more expensive cards), green cards raise morale of their cooperativity, pink cards allow cooperation between players and yellow provide instant actions. At the end of each round (after seventh card being played) player with most cards with their arms and player with highest morale - get victory point. At the end of the game players resolve all cards with "End of the Game" effects and score for them. Player with most victory points, wins the whole game. Game was produced for Fundacja Wspomagania Wsi (Rural Development Fundation) to promote their projects and to develop historical knowledge in small towns. -description from designer
