Back to the list of Policy Cards
Popular Front is a Golden Age Policy Card from the Dramatic Ages game mode in Civilization VI. It is available from the Information Era to the Future Era and uses a Wildcard slot.
Strategy[]
Although it isn't available until the last two eras of the game, Popular Front is indispensable for players who are aiming for a Diplomatic Victory. Leaders whose leader abilities encourage them to form Alliances or facilitate becoming Suzerain of city-states (such as Cleopatra, Gilgamesh, Pericles, Poundmaker, Tamar, and Rough Rider Teddy) will reap particularly great benefits from it, especially if they manage to build Kilwa Kisiwani and the Országház as well. Mansa Musa, Wilhelmina, the Portuguese, and the Poles also benefit from Popular Front thanks to their unique abilities and Sukiennice, which enhance the yields of international Trade Routes.
Civilopedia entry[]
During the Cold War, each side sought to bring its allies closer ideologically. States like East Germany and Vietnam were pressured to commit further to their alliances with the USSR (as, on the opposite side, Indonesia and Pakistan did with the USA), forming political blocs that often voted as one.
