Bloc by Bloc: Uprising is an intense game where you and your friends take on the roles of revolutionary factions — Workers, Students, Neighbors, or Prisoners — fighting police oppression in a city that reshapes itself every game. With a modular board, each playthrough is unique: build barricades, occupy districts, loot shopping malls (yes, you can loot a mall in this game!), and create mutual aid networks before the army arrives to shut things down. The game can be fully cooperative, where everyone wins or loses together, or semi-cooperative with hidden agendas that can turn allies into rivals. Each round represents a night of conflict, with actions determined by dice and cards controlling the police. The pressure is relentless: in 10 nights, you either liberate the city or the regime wins. Area control mechanics, resource management, and potential betrayal create a game full of tension and tough choices. You can even play solo if you want to practice your personal revolution!

Is there a solo mode?
Yes! The solo mode is well-designed, letting you control multiple factions against the police AI.
Coop vs semi-coop difference?
In full coop, everyone wins/loses together. Semi-coop adds secret agendas where some may betray the group.
How complex is it?
Medium weight (2.5/5 on BGG). Rules are intuitive but strategy has depth. Great for Pandemic or Spirit Island players.
What's in the box?
Includes 1 modular board, 4 faction sets, action dice, 110 cards, and barricade/occupation markers.
Actual playtime?
60-120 minutes depending on player count and experience level.
Language dependent?
Yes, most card text is essential. Fan-made translations exist for non-English speakers.
