Really enjoyed playing this game, a great card game with some good depth behind it, especially on hardcore mode! Kudos to the developers, all the best to you!

Message-wise, it's a really apolitical and rose-tinted view on the impeding catastrophe, where carbon credits can somehow fix the fact that our entire economic system relies on destroying the environment for short-term gain and 90% of what is shown here in the game will never be allowed to happen by our current capitalist governments. What we need is revolutionary change, not carbon tax credits.

However, this game provides a hopeful, albeit unrealistic future that mankind can go towards, and isn't that the most important thing a game like this can do? Because hey, if you portray the realities of our climate situation, you'll just get gamers to "First Reformed" themselves :( 

If you liked this game, try out Green New Deal Simulator! Same underlying problems with the game's politics, but if you liked this game, you'll like this one too!

Thanks for your review, happy you enjoyed it and I wholeheartedly agree with the Green Deal Sim recommendation :) The political outlook of Beecarbonize was made to suit its use in schools as a conversation starter and also to be as broadly accessible as possible. Showing the toolikit that is there to fight the climate crisis, not necesarilly reflect any clear political message. A catch-all approach.
