Prague-based developer Charles Games, the team behind Liberation Svoboda 1945 and Attentat 1942, are releasing a free climate strategy card game, Beecarbonzie, on March 1st. The game has been made in collaboration with leading climate experts from Czech NGO People in Need and will show players that although it is a complex issue, climate change can be solved with the right tactics. 

Check out the short trailer below, along with a list of features and a description of the game. 

“ACCESSIBLE, BUT COMPLEX SIMULATION

Will you favor industrial reforms, nature conservation or people initiatives? There are many ways to solve climate change and reduce pollution. But saving the planet is not an easy task. The more carbon emissions you produce the more extreme events you will have to deal with.

STEER SOCIETY & INDUSTRY

You have to balance the power-generating industry, social reforms, ecological policies and scientific endeavors. Will you transition from fossil fuels as fast as possible? Or will you focus on carbon capture technologies first? Experiment with new strategies and don’t be afraid to start again.

120 UNIQUE CARDS

Game cards represent inventions, laws, social advancements, or industries – each designed on the basis of real-world climate science. In addition, partially randomized world events occur, forcing you to adapt your strategy. Gradually unlock new cards in the game encyclopedia and chart your path towards a new future.

IMPACTFUL EVENTS, HIGH REPLAYABILITY

The world of Beecarbonize reacts to your actions. More emissions mean more floods or heatwaves, investing in nuclear power raises the risk of a nuclear incident, and so on. Learn more with each run and you might overcome environmental catastrophes, social unrest, and even avert the end of life on earth.”

Beecarbonize will release on March 1st for free on Android, iOS and PC.
