In the wake of the current climate crisis, many brands have launched products to help consumers reduce their impact on the environment, and the Tiny Footprint Game puts a unique twist on this notion. The board game hinges on players reducing their carbon footprint based on various factors including where the players choose to live, the lifestyle they lead, and the character they play.
A player's emission is tracked based on food, housing, consumption, and transportation and to win the game, players need to reduce their carbon emissions to two tonnes per person based on the allotted time given. Players have three resource card decks to mitigate their carbon emissions including Finances, Discipline, and Commitment and these resources function as a currency in the game. To reduce their emissions, players must work as a team.
