La Batalla de Can Vies (The Battle of Can Vies) is a wargame set during the conflict that took place in the Sants district of the city of Barcelona when an attempt was made to evict squatters from the CSA Can Vies in May 2014.

In this asymmetric strategic wargame for 2-6 players, the opposing sides — institutions and social movements — compete against one another by fighting in the streets of Sants to demolish or to prevent the demolition of Can Vies. Simultaneously, they attempt to maintain acceptable levels of popularity throughout the conflict, with the conflict possibly overflowing and spreading to greater Barcelona and beyond.

Choose whether you want to command the police, political, and media forces in charge of the public institutions, or embrace your rebellious heart that wants to co-ordinate the crowd that has gathered in the streets, leading the social movements in this moment of revolt.

Asymmetric Wargame with card engine as an event generator. Strategy / Chance: Balance of approximately 50%. Between the strategy you adopt with the resources at your disposal, and the luck you have with the dice and the cards.

—user summary

"Però escolti, jo sóc un entusiasta de l’autogestió!"
Xavier Trias, ex-alcalde de barcelonaLa Batalla de Can Vies és un joc de taula ambientat en el conflicte que es va viure al barri de Sants i a la ciutat de Barcelona quan es va intentar desallotjar el CSA Can Vies, al mes de maig de l’any 2014.

És un joc d’estratègia asimètric per a dues o més jugadores, on els dos bàndols enfrontats -institucions i moviments socials- hauran de rivalitzar i competir per derrotar a l’altre. Lluitant als carrers de Sants per enderrocar o impedir l’enderroc de Can Vies, procurant mantenir quotes de popularitat acceptables al llarg del conflicte, o intentant que aquest últim desbordi i s’estengui a Barcelona i més enllà.

Escull si vols comandar les forces policials, polítiques i mediàtiques fent-te càrrec de les institucions públiques. O, si pel contrari, el teu cor rebel et porta a voler coordinar la multitud que s’ha aplegat als carrers, liderant els moviments socials en aquest moment de revolta.

Característiques: Mode per a dues jugadores Mode per a grups (per a una bona experiència de joc es recomana no ser més de 6 jugadores, tot i que no hi ha límit) Durada: 90’/120′ Wargame asimètric amb motor de cartes com a generador d’esdeveniments. Estratègia/Atzar: Equilibri del 50% aproximadament. A cavall entre l’estratègia que adoptis amb els recursos dels que disposes, i la sort que tinguis amb els daus i les cartes.
