Why we built it

Climate education is too often abstract. Watts and Wealth turns the energy transition into a table you sit at, with consequences you feel by round 12.

⚡

Energy in your hands

Build coal, oil, solar, wind, nuclear, geothermal, hydro, tidal, biomass, and more across 12 facility types. Every choice trades cost, output, and pollution.

🌍

Climate that fights back

79 cards drive crises, policies, and tech breakthroughs across four eras — from the Industrial Dawn to the Sustainable Future. The planet has a tipping point. Cross it and everyone loses.

🎓
