ALTRUISM MEN
Game Description: “Altruism Men” is a thought-provoking cooperative game where players take on the roles of altruistic individuals working together to save the world from environmental disasters. Each player has unique abilities and skills that must be strategically utilized to mitigate the effects of pollution, climate change, and natural disasters.
How to Play:
- Each player chooses a character with distinct abilities and starts with a base set of resources.
- The game is divided into rounds, with each round representing a year in the game’s timeline.
- Players take individual turns, with the first player drawing a Disaster card, which outlines the environmental crisis facing the world (e.g., oil spill, drought, or heatwave).
- The player then uses their abilities and resources to mitigate the disaster. This may involve allocating resources to research and develop new technologies, coordinating with other players to share knowledge, or using special abilities to clean up pollution.
- After all players have taken their turns, the disaster is resolved, and the game state is updated accordingly.
- The game continues until the world reaches a critical point of no return, or the players collectively achieve a set of predetermined goals, such as reducing carbon emissions or restoring natural habitats.
- Players earn rewards and bonuses for their contributions, and the game ends with a final scoring phase.
