EAT THE RICH
sneak
peek
the year is 2020 and the planet is on the brink of climate catastrophe. the mass extinction of species is in full swing, trees are falling by millions, the air becomes deadly, yet the oil industry responsible for most of the pollution is going on like nothing is happening, even finding new ways to extract the fossil fuels from the earth.
the game for the future of our survival is on.
eat the rich is a board game, where players are divided into 2 teams - Gobblers, whose job is to keep getting richer by preserving fossil fuels business that pollutes the earth, and greens, who want to find ways to keep the planet
habitable by implementing sustanaable policies to clean up the environment.

The characters playing for either side are chosen according to their objective in the game, so the greens are represented by endangered species, who depend on change in environmental policies, while gobblers are portrayed true to their nature - as invasive species.
moo
boo
each player has cards and some money - gobblers have more $, of course. the cards contain policies or create assets - like regulation of unsustainable practices or building new coal or solar power plants. as in life, each of these costs money and has a carbon footprint. while greens try to get rid of pollution, gobblers happily create it while making money. the game is over once all the pollution is on either side - greens win when they clean up the planet, or gobblers pushed it into catastrophe while they were busy making money.
action!
to keep things interesting, there are action cards - allowing you to attack opponent, or have your investments multiply in value. and again - as in life, there are good news and bad news. like there are good and bad people on both sides...oh wait

learn more
Eat the rich is a result of my university research about climate anxiety. after questionnaires, few rounds of interviews with affected people and many iterations of my design answer to findings of the research, I've landed to this solution - gamifying the problem, dissolve the stress in a board game activity, where you can learn more about what needs to be done to save our biggest ally - the planet. read the whole story in my research portfolio attached in pdf.
Conducted at Czech technical university in Prague, atelier Karel-Safarik, under supervision of Jitka Frouzova and Jan Petrmichl.
