Climate Change: The Game

From BoardGameGeek:

Earth's future is in your hands, but will you choose to save it? In Climate Change The Game, you're the bad guy. Each player in the game owns a major global energy corporation. Your goal is to crush your competitors by securing the biggest share of the Earth's precious natural resources and supply energy to the world's great cities. But beware, as fossil fuel emissions get pumped into the atmosphere, the Earth will be battered by floods, famine and fires, and people will point the finger of blame at you! Strategy game with Euro elements Some Key Elements of Gameplay: As the CEO of a fossil fuel corporation, your primary goal is to maximise shareholder profits. Whether the world ends in flood and fires, or whether fossil fuels are banned to usher in a clean, green economy, the player with the highest stock price wins. ROLL At the beginning of your turn, roll the two 6-sided dice. Every player with a power plant bordering a region that matches the rolled number picks up a corresponding resource card. As the roller, if you didn't get a match, you still get a consolation resource card. After everyone has rolled once, turns continue until someone rolls a 6, which triggers a Climate Summit and unleashes the number of Disasters determined by the Global Carbon Footprint. TRADE On your turn, you may initiate trades with other players. WORLD NEWS EVENTS You can play 1 World News card per turn. These include the joys and horrors of the 21st century: Brexit, Bolsonaro, Trump Tweets. It's all there! BUILD YOUR NETWORK Expand your network by building pipelines and power stations. Each action has its associated costs which you pay by discarding resource cards. CLIMATE SUMMIT At the end of each round, all players get on their private jets and fly to a secluded resort in the Swiss Alps to talk about what they will do to avert climate disaster. The player who bids the most resources becomes the “Sustainability Tsar” for the next round, moves one GreenPiece to anywhere on the board to block resource extraction, increases the Global Public Opinion meter by one step and in the next round wears the Sustainability Tsar and goes first. -description from the designer
