Skellig Games CO2 - Second Chance

Product Description In the 1970s, world governments faced unprecedented demand for energy, and environmentally harmful power plants were built everywhere to meet this demand. Year after year, the pollution they cause is increasing, and no one has done anything to reduce it. Now the effects of this pollution have become too great, and humanity is beginning to realize that we need to meet our energy needs through clean energy sources. Companies familiar with clean, sustainable energy are encouraged to propose projects that provide the energy they need without polluting the environment. The regional governments are ready to finance these projects and invest in their implementation. If the pollution is not stopped, the game is over for all of us. In the game CO₂, each player is the managing director of an energy company that responds to the government's requests for new, environmentally friendly power plants. The aim is to stop the increase in pollution while satisfying the increasing demand for sustainable energy - and of course to benefit from it. You need enough expertise, money and resources to build these clean power plants. Energy summits will promote global awareness and allow companies to pass on their know-how and learn even more from others. In the CO₂ area, each region has a certain number of carbon emission certificates (CEPs) at the beginning. These CEPs are awarded by the United Nations and must be issued whenever the region needs to install the energy infrastructure for a project or build a fossil fuel power plant. CEPs can be bought and sold on a market, and their price fluctuates throughout the game. Through money, CEPs, green power plants, UN goals, corporate goals and expertise, you get victory points (VPs) that represent your company's reputation - and having the best reputation is the goal of the game... in addition to saving the planet, of course.
