Ice and the Sky

A cooperative game for 2 to 4 players about the balance between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Players take turns placing cards in the appropriate element row, covering previously played cards as the available spaces fill. No cards can be moved, and completed or disrupted objectives are revealed only when affected by placement. After 12 cards are played, objective cards are revealed and scored. Players check the ice for visible CO2 cards, return ice cards accordingly, and evaluate the balance of the objectives to determine the sky level and track changes in atmospheric CO2.
