Carbon City Zero is a collaborative climate action game in which players develop a sustainable city by greening transport, transforming industries, getting citizens on board and showing world leaders how it’s done.
Each player starts with an identical deck, buying additional cards from a shared marketplace to create a more sustainable city. Balancing the need to generate income with reducing carbon, you can follow numerous paths to victory, but collaboration is key. You’ll need to bring together governments, industries and the public. And if you can’t bring carbon levels to zero before it’s too late, everybody loses. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Since its inception decades ago, the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons
& Dragons has offered an escape from the real world, the chance to
enter distant realms, walk in new shoes, and be part of immersive,
imaginative tales as they unfold. More so, in Thom James Carter’s
opinion, it’s a perfect vessel for queer exploration and joy. Journey
on, adventurer, as Dungeon Master Thom invites readers into the game’s
exciting queer, utopian possibilities, traversing its history and
contemporary evolution, the queer potential resting within gameplay,
the homebrewers making it their own, stories from fellow players, and
the power to explore and examine identity and how people want to lead
their lives in real and imagined worlds alike. Grab a sword and get
your dice at the ready, this queer adventure is about to begin. (This
book is unofficial and unaffiliated with properties Wizards of the
Coast and Dungeons & Dragons.)

"How we should think about board games, and what do they do to us
as we play them?" Writer and critic Eric Thurm digs deep into his
own experience as a board game enthusiast to explore the emotional
and social rules that games create and reveal, telling a series of
stories about a pastime that is also about relationships. From the
outdated gender roles in Life and Mystery Date to the cutthroat,
capitalist priorities of Monopoly and its socialist counterpart,
Class Struggle, Thurm thinks through his ongoing rivalries with his
siblings and ponders the ways games both upset and enforce
hierarchies and relationships-from the familial to the
geopolitical. Like sitting down at the table for family game night,
Board Games is an engaging book of twists and turns, trivia, and
nostalgia. Avidly Reads is a series of short books about how
culture makes us feel. Founded in 2012 by Sarah Blackwood and Sarah
Mesle, Avidly-an online magazine supported by the Los Angeles
Review of Books-specializes in short-form critical essays devoted
to thinking and feeling. Avidly Reads is an exciting new series
featuring books that are part memoir, part cultural criticism, each
bringing to life the author's emotional relationship to a cultural
artifact or experience. Avidly Reads invites us to explore the
surprising pleasures and obstacles of everyday life.

The 21st century has seen a board game renaissance. At a time when
streaming television finds millions of viewers, video games garner
billions of dollars, and social media grows ever more intense,
little has been written about the rising popularity of board games.
And yet board games are one of our fastest growing hobbies, with
sales increasing every year. Today's board games are more than just
your average rainy-day mainstay. Once associated solely with geek
subcultures, complex and strategic board games are increasingly
dominating the playful media environment. The popularity of these
complex board games mirrors the rise of more complex cult media
products. In Game Play: Paratextuality in Contemporary Board Games,
Paul Booth examines complex board games based on book, TV, and film
franchises, including Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, Lord of the
Rings, Star Trek, The Hunger Games and the worlds of H.P.
Lovecraft. How does a game represent a cult world? How can
narratives cross media platforms? By investigating the relationship
between these media products and their board game versions, Booth
illustrates the connections between cult media, gameplay, and
narrative in a digital media environment.
