In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to highlight EcoChains: Arctic Life, a two player game of strategy and survival in a rapidly warming Arctic. Build food chains of Arctic species — such as walrus, narwhal, polar bear and seals — upon Arctic sea ice and experience migration and other effects of a changing climate.
Classroom and teacher packs are available, which include copies of the game (Arctic Species cards, Sea Ice cards), Rulesheet, Lesson Plans.
You can also get the full version of the game at www.ecochainsgame.com.
I teach game design and educational technology courses at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City. You can reach me at GAMES at tc dot columbia dot edu.
