About the game

What you do in a play session

Are you ready to save the planet or will you let chaos take over? In Blue Horizon, you step into the shoes of an heir to an exhausted world, fighting the climate emergency to secure a future for generations to come. But hold on, it's not just about saving the world! The game presents a heavy ethical dilemma: are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the common good, or will you exploit the chaos to ensure your own victory? It's a semi-cooperative experience where individual choices can either save the group or sink everyone together. The gameplay is incredibly agile, with quick sessions of around 30 minutes, making it perfect for a weekend game or even for introducing newcomers to the hobby. If you're looking for something light for the family, it delivers simple and direct rules, but don't be fooled: there is significant strategic depth for those who enjoy thinking ahead. With 60 catastrophe cards constantly shifting the landscape, every game is a race against time and nature's unpredictability. It's a highly topical and necessary theme that adds a layer of tension, making you wonder: can we truly balance progress with preservation? If you enjoy games with strong themes, contract mechanics, and that 'what now?' feeling when facing an imminent disaster, Blue Horizon is your next challenge!
