Climate Change isn't a game... but this board game can help us navigate solving it.

Climate change and renewable energy are hot topics constantly popping up these days in mainstream media.

Energetic is a collaborative, educational, board game designed to teach the complexity of transitioning from a fossil-fuel dominated electrical grid to 100% clean energy.
