It’s billed as a game about environmental diplomacy and has some social deduction aspects to it, and it does have educational value but is not your typical “educational” game because it’s more about seeing consequences in action than being told a lot of facts. There is a bit of a learning curve so I think I probably would recommend playing this with teens and up. (Read More)
