Game summary

People Power is about politics, about strategy and about social change. As a leader of a popular movement you will fight against tough adversaries who control the police, the army, the bureaucracy—even the media. The only weapon in your hand is your strategic skill and ingenuity. But People Power is more than just a game. It’s an opportunity to join a community of others who want to learn about civil resistance and nonviolent strategies. The game allows you to design and play your own custom scenarios by using a Scenario Builder. Everyone can design scenarios and post them on the People Power forum, available to the whole community, where you can exchange ideas with other players and scenario writers.

Play People Power: The Game of Civil Resistance on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play People Power: The Game of Civil Resistance on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
