Hold back the carbon
You play cards for inventions, laws, social reforms and industries, all grounded in real climate science. Spend money, people and science to grow clean power, protect nature and modernize industry, while emissions pile up on the other side.
Let them climb and the world answers back. Floods, heatwaves, unrest, and if you lean too hard on nuclear, the occasional very bad day. Events land partly at random, so you adapt, restart, and play it smarter next season. Survive long enough and you unlock new cards in the encyclopedia for the next run.
Many roads to a livable future
There is no single correct green plan. You can ditch fossil fuels fast, bet on carbon capture first, push industry, nature or people — six different ways to win, with multiple endings waiting.
Normal mode teaches quickly and often ends in a first victory within a couple of hours. Hardcore mode is the opposite: a harsh, tight fight for experienced players where every choice matters. Short runs and different victory cards make it easy to try just one more future.
Good to know?
How do you actually win?
By keeping emissions down while building toward one of the victory cards. That means balancing power generation, social reforms, ecological policies and research, and handling crises before they cascade. There are six paths, so a nature-heavy run plays differently from an industry or science one.
How long is a run?
Short enough to replay. You play season by season, tweaking your deck and economy, and a full attempt can be finished in one sitting. That pace suits experimenting: lose to a flood spiral, learn the timing, start again with a cleaner opening.
What makes it hard?
The world reacts to what you build. High emissions bring more extreme events, risky power brings its own incidents, and random events can force a change of plan mid-run. Hardcore mode turns all of that up for players who already know the basics.
Do you need to read a lot of climate science?
No. Every card is based on real-world research and has background notes in the encyclopedia if you are curious, but the effects themselves are short and clear. You can play purely on costs, benefits and risks and still get the point.
