In Confrontation, players choose between being members of the student protesters and Establishment teams. The latter is broken down into ten subgroups, including the military, Washington, city hall, the university administration, etc. The goal of the Establishment theme is to keep things the way they are. The students will use peaceful protests, strikes and riots to change society for the better. The game consists of 11 team cards, 4 results charts (effectively CRTs), 16 confrontation cards, 18 student tokens, 6 police tokens, and 36 Establishment resources tokens. Each side debates the issue at hand, commits resources to confrontation, then consults the results chart to see who wins.
