Global Event Expansion

This is an expansion for the competitive game. The Global Event is a cataclysmic event that affects the entire planet. Every region will require aid in such a dire situation!

Components

• 1 Global event tile

Play, Playing a Decade

3. Events Phase

There is an additional step after Step 4:

4½. If this is the first time the CO2 pollution level reaches or exceeds 400 ppm, set aside the face-up top tile of the Event deck, shuffle the Global Event tile into the Event deck, then place the deck back in its space with the set-aside, face-up tile on top again.

Global Event

During the Events phase, if the Current Event or the Upcoming Event is the Global Event, you will resolve only the Global Event, and leave the other for next decade.

Note: Even if the CO2 pollution level has dropped below 400 ppm, the Global Event will still occur!

The Global Event is an event that affects every Region. So, each Region suffers a disaster in the usual fashion. Start with the Region in which you are playing this game, and go clockwise.

After every Region has been evaluated, skip Steps 3 and beyond, then return the Global Event tile to the box. If the Current Event space is now empty, move the top tile from the stack to the Current Event space, so again 2 Event tiles are visible.

Project Randomizers Expansion

This is an expansion for both the cooperative game and the competitive game, which changes the rules for projects, encouraging alternative strategies.

Components

• 6 Project Randomizer tiles

Setup

Shuffle the 6 Project Space Randomizer tiles from the expansion and place them randomly atop the base game's Project spaces, as shown in the illustration.

Play

Playing a Decade, Operations Phase, Main Action -> Propose a Project

Whenever you Propose a Project in a Region, the Project tile must be placed on the leftmost empty Project space. Then you receive the grant depicted in the space you filled, as usual.

All the other rules are the same.

Lobbyist Cards

Shuffle the additional Lobbyist cards in with the others.

3D Components

Each 3D component is a fancy upgrade for an existing component.

Components

• 6 plastic tokens (the mask is optional)
• Calendar = Decade marker
• Barrel = Operations Phase marker
• Factory = Global CO2 Pollution Level marker — competitive game

Easy Variant

This is a variant for the competitive game. Only use this if you find it too difficult to control the increase of CO2 emissions. Once you get a better grasp of the game, return to playing without this variant.

Setup

Before shuffling the fossil fuel power plants, remove 4 coal (40) and 2 oil (30) power plants from the game.
