Climate and Action Cards

Climate cards are based on real-world events; events can have a positive or a negative effect on your grid. There are 17 climate cards, so every game will be different! Building a diverse grid with a low environmental impact is a good strategy to prepare.

Action cards are used to boost your playing options, or to disrupt an opponent's grid. There are 5 different types of actions in the game. Use your action cards wisely.
