      Hintergrund: “In 1920, the coal miners of West Virginia faced shameful living conditions, and even worse working conditions. Miners were paid subsistence wages, despite high profits, or even paid only in scrip which could only be used at the company-owned store. Within the mines themselves, workers experienced frequent cave-ins and other dangerous accidents, as the operators were reluctant to reduce production for the sake of safety.

      Whispers of unionization began to arise in the mountains. The coal companies responded harshly, employing company gun thugs to violently and cruelly enact the company’s will upon the miners.

      Events escalated from there, including the declaration of martial law, spiraling into the 1921 assassination of Sid Hatfield, who had by then become a local icon and a leader to the miners throughout the region.

      Federal troops were dispatched to Blair Mountain, including aerial bombers equipped with leftover gas and explosive bombs from the Great War. Days of guerrilla warfare followed, during which as many as one hundred miners were killed for the crime of wanting a better life.”

      Beschreibung: The Price of Coal ist ein SL-loses Spiel in dem wir 2 Rollen verkörpern: die eines Minen-Arbeiters und eines Familenmitgliedes, bzw Stadtbewohner*in. Mit Hilfe von Karten-Prompts spielen wir Szenen bis es zur finalen Konfrontation kommt: die US Army gegen die vereinten Minen-Arbeiter.
