Let’s Play Daybreak: A Cooperative Board Game about Stopping Climate Change

Can a board game help us solve the climate crisis? Join Yale Planetary Solutions in playing Daybreak with board game designer Matteo Menapace at various locations across the community. 

Matteo will explain the research and design behind the game via Zoom, then in-person teams of players can try their hands at decarbonizing the global economy while building fairer and more resilient societies worldwide. After playing, Matteo will lead a discussion on what players experienced and how board games can be powerful tools for exploring real-world problems.
