• When we see these disasters on the news, it’s clear we need to take action on climate change now.
• Tabletop games (board games, card games, role-playing games – anything that can be played around a table) have a unique ability to engage players in complex systems.
• Games engage our brains in a different way than just hearing news about climate disasters.
• Climate crisis games pull you into possible futures where our real-life choices shape our current and future climate.

Education and motivation

• Our goal was to make a fun game that could also help players understand the complicated problem of climate change.
• Like choosing between energy sources that are cheaper right now versus ones that are better for the environment long-term.
• This allowed us to reach a broad audience and spark conversations about the climate crisis in a new and engaging way.
• As we face the urgent challenges ahead, I believe that such games can play a crucial role in fostering understanding, dialogue and action.

The ‘magic circle’ and climate action

• In the context of the climate crisis, the magic circle can serve as a powerful tool.
• It enables the simulation of climate crisis impacts and the testing of various strategies to help reduce those impacts.
• This can foster empathy and understanding around the climate crisis.

Games as catalysts for action

• Games can serve as a potent tool for instilling the notion of taking effective action when it comes to climate issues.
• Crucially, games create a sense of agency, showing players that their actions can make a difference – especially when they combine their efforts.
• By exploring these fast-approaching realities, games can motivate players to come up with real-world climate solutions, and to really think about how personal and collective actions can contribute.
