Let's Play Daybreak: A Cooperative Boardgame about Stopping Climate Change In-Person
Can a board game help us solve the climate crisis? As part of Sci X Sci-Fi 2026, join Yale Planetary Solutions in playing Daybreak with board game designer Matteo Menapace at Ives Main Library. Matteo will explain the research and design behind the game via Zoom, then in-person teams of players can try their hands at decarbonising the global economy, while building fairer and more resilient societies worldwide. After playing, Matteo will lead a discussion on what players experienced and how board games can be powerful tools for exploring real-world problems.
