The featured game will be Bloc by Bloc, the cooperative game inspired by urban uprisings across the globe! Liberate your city by occupying strategic spaces, protecting them from the police, and working together with other factions to meet collective goals. No experience necessary- this will be a teaching game! Come down and have fun with comrades while exercising your strategic thinking muscles!".
