Solarpunk Futures

Solarpunk Futures is a 10-minute rules-light role playing game where players imagine the pathways to a desirable world from the perspective of a utopian future.

Players use a deck of cards to remember Ancestors (e.g. grower, engineer, newcomer) and work together using Tools (e.g. recycled materials, equipment library, off-grid energy) and Values (e.g. care, responsibility, usufruct) to overcome a set of real-world Challenges (e.g. borders, ableist infrastructure, climate refugee crisis). Through dialogue and collaborative worldbuilding, collective and visionary narratives emerge of a new society, along with plausible scenarios for how to get there.

The players are guided through a collaborative storytelling process, imagining the pathway to their utopian future. In a conversation that can range from solemn to comical in tone, the players decide collectively how they worked together and why it took all of them to overcome the Challenge.
