Last Year of Carbon

Last Year of Carbon is a cooperative AND competitive strategy boardgame. Each player acts as a renewable energy company in a world running on the last drops of non-renewable fuel (gas, coal, etc.). You must work together to power the planet, while simultaneously building up your infrastructure and convincing the public that you (and only you) are the best company to replace carbon based fuels. Do you have what it takes to survive & thrive during the Last Year Of Carbon? Every game of Last Year of Carbon takes place over 4 seasons, with 12 turns per player (one turn per month in the year) Half way through, a new deck with increased effects is swapped in. Additionally, before every round, NEWS CARDS are flipped causing world-altering effects... but who knows... it might be... good? The Last Year of Carbon is an adventure of discovery. Where each card can make or break your entire strategy. Where one player's actions may change how every subsequent player takes their turn. Where fingers become crossed, hopes become dashed, yet maybe, just maybe, we'll make it to the next season. To start again the nail-biting anxiety of creating a house of cards that may topple at any second. Only one person may stand victorious, but everyone can lose. —description from the designer
