"A multi-player educational game, designed for students in high school, which explores the relationship of climate change to economic, political, and science policy decisions. In a computer lab, students are assigned roles of advisors from one of the three fields. Groups are formed with one advisor from each field. Students must take note of pertinent information from the game guide presented and brainstorm arguments for their side. There is an opportunity at the conclusion of the game to reflect on their success and develop strategies for how best to play next time. An optional additional activity is to replay the game using the strategy guide in class or at home and compare the results"
