I played it on TTS and it just felt hollow. Bright colors and stuff but the theme does nothing for me, especially because climate change is such a nightmare right now. I don't want a board game reminding me of some impending doom that I can't reasonably change. Despite that, I hope you can still enjoy it!
Thanks for your perspective! I totally get it. I imagine at the end of the game you all go "we solved climate change! Hurray!", and then get back to reality where, "well no we are still living in hell" lol.
In the end though, I hope that the overall message is "we can do this if we do it together", and my generation and the next have to be the ones to solve it.
But the problem is, even if all of the US came together and stopped 100% of our emissions, China would still continue to pump out 90% of the world emissions. So the board game should be a political game about trying to convince China to cap their fuel consumers who are the true contributors to the world's emissions
In terms of the game, each player represents a world power, but there are no specific countries in the game. It's not played on a world map.
