The Fallpoint: A Climate Crisis Board Game
What Is The Fallpoint?
A board game that puts you in the heart of the climate crisis
In The Fallpoint, 2-6 players find themselves in a city confronted by a mounting social and environmental crisis. You take on the roles of concerned citizens who want to save their city long enough to realize their own personal ambitions.
Social tensions building underneath the surface magnify the scale and pace of the city’s downfall. Players must band together and navigate the paths to power successfully in order to fulfill their personal ambitions and save their city from its Fallpoint.

Why We Created The Fallpoint
Since we started working on this game in 2017, we have researched a ton of material on climate issues and their impact on social, political, and economic problems around the world. Along the way, we have gathered hundreds of stories – of people, of communities, of cities.
A lot of these stories are tragic, but there are also ones that show us that change is possible; that it takes everything and everyone working together to counter a problem that is not just local, but also global in nature.
We wanted to create something that goes beyond entertainment—a tool for people to engage with these complex issues in a way that's accessible, immersive, and meaningful. Through play, we hope to spark conversations, build empathy, and inspire action.
