Reforest!

producer


Reforest! is a fast-paced and fun game for all the family that throws a spotlight on a planet under pressure. Can you build a thriving forest ecosystem and protect it from deforestation?

 

Reforest! was commissioned by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and created by Upstart Theatre. It was developed in collaboration with scientists at RBG Kew.

 

The game consists of 44 cards and depicts 8 forest ecosystems from around the globe. Players are challenged to collect full sets of cards from one ecosystem – including the Tree, Pollinator, Fungi, Water, and People cards – whilst avoiding the Deforestation card.

 

The first edition of Reforest! was played at COP26. Learn more about Reforest! and ways to play the game here.
