The BBC Climate Challenge!
I have played this frakking game over ten times since yesterday. Basically, you run Europe for 50 years, and you pick from different policies. The object is to lower carbon emissions, but there are always trade-offs. Not only do you have to keep an eye on your carbon emissions and money, but there are the possibilities of food and water shortages (hint: upgrade infrastructure early), energy shortages (hint: look at fusion), and the ever present spectre of getting voted out of office. This is the hardest little flash game I have ever played! I think I'm going to assign it to my students!
Bonus points if they can end the game without crashing the economy.
