Pralay

University of York EDGE

A Climate Change Game by Tanvi Saxena and Shweata Hegde

University of York

Pralay is a political strategy-based climate change board game. The game is set in a fictionalised world grappling with a climate crisis. The players’ goal is to gain votes to become the president of this world government—a task easier said than done! As they navigate environmental dilemmas, they are faced with competing tensions between social, cultural, economic and environmental trade-offs. Each candidate comes from one of the three factions with different priorities and contexts, and they must simultaneously ensure the well-being of their faction’s people. However, temperatures are rising, crops are failing and the global climate index needs to be kept in check so the world president can actually be sworn in. Will players be able to win the election whilst saving their people and planet from environmental catastrophe? By drawing on a strong narrative, humour, and human politics, Pralay communicates the contradictions and trade-offs involved in addressing environmental challenges that we face today.
