CONCEPT

The concept of climate change can be very daunting to some, so I wanted to scale it down to what an individual's actions can do. Thus came the concept of 'Phlogiston', a game where you are rewriting the start of climate change. The term phlogiston comes from medieval times and was believed to be the particle on objects that made them combustible (wood would have a large amount of phlogiston where a rock would have a small amount. The goal of the game is to make important choices to avoid air pollution from 'burning' development cards. For aesthetics, I created elements that felt like they came from that time period. For example, the development cards are tarot cards.
