INTRODUCTION Solo card game. Abstract simulation of Global Warming. WINNING & LOSING If the Heat Level ever gets to 10, Global Warming is not Controlled and Civilization as we know it is doomed. If at the End of the game the Heat Level is 9 or below, Humanity has averted complete disaster. The Game ends when there are no cards left in the Heat Deck. HEAT TOKENS Use Tokens (Counters, Chits) to keep track of the Heat Level. THE DECK The Deck has 4 Suites: Pollution, Consequences, Political Will, & Solutions. There are 13 cards in each Suite. Cards are numbered between 1 & 13 in each Suite. 52 CARD DECK Because the Deck is similar to a regular deck (except that the names of the suites are different and that each card has a unique title) it can be used as a normal deck of cards. SETUP Divide the deck up into 2 Mini-decks: The Heat deck has Pollution and Consequence Cards. The Cool deck has Politics and Solution Cards. Shuffle the Mini-decks and put them face down. TURN SEQUENCE Draw 2 cards from the Heat Deck. If they are from different suites raise the Heat level by 1. If they are from the same suite raise the Heat level by 2. If they are from the same suite with a combined score of 20+ raise the Heat level by 3. Draw 2 cards from the Cool Deck. You may discard 1 and draw a replacement. If the Cool deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. If they are from the same suite the Heat level is unchanged. If they are from the 2 different suites, there are 2 possibilities: 1. If the Politics card is = or greater than the Solutions card reduce Heat Level by 2. 2. If the Politics card is less than the Solutions card, reduce the Heat level by 1.
