Description

EcoChains is a multiplayer card game about climate change -- life and the struggle for survival in a rapidly warming Arctic. Players build food chains as they learn about Arctic ecosystems and how humans impact the environment (e.g. how carbon pollution and diminishing sea ice can impact Arctic species). The game was produced by Jogolabs and designed by a team of environmental scientists, educators and game designers.

Gameplay is simple: Sea Ice cards form the base of each player's food web. Each player builds food chains by connecting various Arctic species cards including polar bear, walrus, ringed seal and narwhal. Event cards such as carbon pollution occur, which melt sea ice and cause some animals to migrate or die. Players can also play Action cards in order to help protect their food chains. The player who keeps the most animals alive wins. Goal cards also provide additional Victory points.
