Green New Deal Simulator

Green New Deal Simulator is a deck-building game about transitioning the United States to a post-carbon economy while maintaining full employment. You play action cards on regions of the USA, assess their effects and expand your deck. A game lasts about 40 minutes.

Climate policies

Invest in renewable energy, end fossil fuel consumption, capture atmospheric CO2, modernize the energy grid and research green technologies. The clock is ticking, and the budget may not be enough.

Cards and cast

The game includes 22 action cards based on real-world policies and solutions, alongside a cast of working-class animals. Its mechanics are designed to feel like an accessible board game, with cards dragged and dropped onto the map to apply their effects.

Soundtrack

The original soundtrack is by Jesse Stiles and was made with locally sourced analog synthesizers.
