Description

Ecoduel is a game that puts you right in the middle of the battle between different forms of energy, where pollution plays a crucial role in your success or failure. At the start, Europe is a pristine green, but as you produce electricity using various power plants, smog and pollution start to take over, turning your green areas black. As one of 2 to 5 players, you'll take on the role of an electricity supplier in a specific area, making tough decisions about whether to switch to green power or stick with conventional plants to stay ahead of your opponents. The game is a delicate balance between ecology and economy, where the goal is to have the most environmentally friendly area at the end of the 90-minute playtime. With normal complexity rules, Ecoduel is easy to learn for anyone familiar with board games, and it's full of potential strategies to keep you engaged. You can choose to build green plants to earn victory, or try to sabotage your neighbors by polluting their areas. The winner will be the one who best navigates the duel between ecology and economy, making Ecoduel a fun and interactive way to raise awareness about the environment and promote green energy.
