The Adaptation Game (TAG) is a customised tabletop game that allows players to simulate climate shocks whilst playing as themselves, living in their own homes and with their local communities in the City of Maribyrnong.
This gamified approach aims to encourage community members to prepare for and build resilience in readiness for upcoming climate impacts such as heatwaves, floods and storms while considering the current resources and priorities in their lives. In this session, you will get to play an introductory version of the game, experiencing two climate shock scenarios and working together with your group to face the shock and adapt.
You will be able to engage as a player on a table of 4 people in guided storytelling, merging local experience with climate science. You don't need to be a "gamer" to play! TAG is designed for everyone, and our facilitators will help guide the conversation. Through narrative gameplay, you'll be able to increase your awareness of local climate risks, resilience strategies and local council programs.
Please note this game is appropriate for persons aged 18+ who are interested in learning more about climate risks and ways to adapt, take meaningful action and build resilience.
Light refreshments provided. Please contact environment@maribyrnong.vic.gov.au if you have any allergies or dietary requirements.
