Global warning: A Board Game with Climate Politics Within
To make people fully aware of the fragility of our planet and to learn about mankind’s use of resources, this pre-apocalyptic board game focuses on the idea of resource management and climate politics. Players take the role of managing a country. During the game, players will experience various different situations factored by their own decisions. Whether it is investing more resources, raising one’s population, or upgrading technology, these small changes will affect how well players will be able to survive in this game. Players will also realize that raising and feeding the population will also factor in the choice of whether or not to upgrade/change their current technology to an alternative one. These game mechanics will allow players to learn and realize the connection between this game and the real world.
