Climate protection concerns us all! And because it is such an important topic, its importance is not only shown to us through Hollywood disaster cinema, but is also reflected in games. This is also the case in the game Kyoto by the author duo Sabine Harrer and Johannes Krenner, which is published by the publisher Pegasus Spiele, released in 2020. A hand card management game in which, as a participant in a climate conference sent by your own country, you have to save the world from an ecological disaster while preserving the prosperity of your own society. You can find out how much fun we had with the climate game in the following review of Kyoto.
It all starts with the well-known “popping out”, the assembly and – oh my – mini folding instructions from the Swedish furniture store. Panic set in for a moment and quickly passed. First, you fold a small box out of a die-cut sheet, in which the smorgasbord of playing cards finds a place. You have thought about it. Instead of a wobbly inlay or rubber band, an amazingly simple trick ensures that the cards can be stowed away safely and securely after playing. The makers have thought about it.
