Conceptual framework
The Great Acceleration
A cooperative game that illustrates the sum of our planet’s interacting physical, chemical, biological and human processes and how these contribute to an existential risk to life on earth.
What needs to be researched
- looked into various board games
- went to a game store
- settled on the “pandemic” model
What needs to be built
- a test model of the game to do play testing
What needs to be tested
- the mechanic and scenarios of the game during play testing
Material gathering
- acrylic(markers for the “acceleration”)
- dice, 3×5 index cards (for various attributes and scenarios)
- butcher paper(game board)
- coins or more index cards for money(?)
Printing
- find a printer who can articulate all of the aspects of the game
commit to a final articulation
- at least two rounds of the game
