About the game

What you do in a play session

In Daybreak, players unite in a race against time to combat climate change, taking on the roles of global powers. The objective is clear: dismantle the system driving global warming while simultaneously building resilient societies capable of protecting people from impending crises. It's an intense cooperative game where every decision matters, and collaboration is the key to the planet's survival. You and your friends will need to deploy smart policies and innovative technologies, managing resources and responding to unexpected global events. Each round, the global temperature can rise, and the number of people in crisis can increase, leading to collective defeat if these indicators reach critical levels. But don't despair! If you manage to reduce global emissions to net-zero, victory is for everyone. With variable player powers and a setup that changes each game, Daybreak offers a challenging and highly replayable experience, inviting players to rethink strategies and work together for a more sustainable future.
