Event details

Play for the Planet invites you to play and discuss Kyoto:

'As delegates from different countries, players face a few quick rounds of negotiation at a climate conference. Together, they try to hit reduction targets and provide the needed funding, knowing that each round they fail to do so they inflict severe damage on the planet. But bent on preserving their own country's wealth and following their secret agendas, none of them may be eager to give more than absolutely necessary. After all, the winner will be whoever best preserves their wealth...unless the impending damage to earth becomes too severe, in which case the conference fails immediately and the greediest player can't win.'

Kyoto will be followed by a debriefing discussion.

Tea and coffee provided.

Photos may be taken for use by the Play for the Planet network.

Limited spaces. Reserve your ticket if you would like to come along. Also, if you can't make it, please remember to cancel your ticket so that others can!
