A serious sustainability simulation about shared scarcity, regional pressure, and long-term stewardship. Compete for near-term prosperity without collapsing the basin that every region depends on.
Use one room code for all regions. Teams compete, but the reservoir is shared by everyone.
Objective: Build the strongest region without draining the shared reservoir that every team depends on.
Setup: Join the basin room with the code from your facilitator. Your group plays as one regional leadership team.
How to play: Every round, teams choose water extraction, regional strategy, and collective stance. Choices affect prosperity, public stability, sustainability, and the shared basin level.
Your role: Debate the tradeoffs, submit your region's choices, and watch how local gains affect the shared basin.
End condition: Rank teams by balanced regional outcome. If the basin collapses, treat it as a collective systems failure before discussing individual scores.
Any teammate can update your shared plan before the host advances the round.
Use the result patterns to debrief how teams balanced growth, public pressure, and shared stewardship under scarcity.
