Star Salior v3

The 3rd and Final version!

Some changes that were made: I removed the rockets as dice, as cool as the novelty was, in real life, they didn’t work out very well. They were loud and clunky, and after the playtest, they seemed to have more chances rolling a 5 and a 3, so they were unfair. The board now has color and a clearer path to follow, and the cards were removed to make it much simpler. The player cards are updated to have information about the landing mechanisms, instead of filler text.

Carbon Clash Revised Rules: PA Edition

Objective: Have the lowest total carbon footprint (fewest cards) when the main deck runs out.

1. The “Clash” (The Win/Loss Flip)

  • On your turn, choose one card from the top of your pile to play into the center.
  • All players reveal their chosen card.
  • The player with the HIGHEST carbon footprint (highest score) must collect all cards played in that round.
  • These cards go into your Secondary Pile (your “Carbon Debt”).

2. The Debate (Tie Rule)

If two players play cards with similar emissions (e.g., a Hybrid Car vs. Carpooling):

  • Players enter a Debate.
  • Each player has 15 seconds to argue why their activity is worse for the environment, specifically (e.g., “PA has a high-density bus network in Philly, making it more efficient than a single Hybrid, therefore, a hybrid has worse emissions”).
  • The other players vote. The winner of the debate takes the cards.

3. Pennsylvania “Learning Twist.”

If you play a “High Impact” card (score 200+), you may discard it instead of giving it to the winner if you can name one specific PA-based initiative or fact (ex, “The state’s transition toward natural gas over coal”).

End of Game & Scoring

The game ends immediately when any player’s Primary Stack (the cards they were dealt at the start) runs out.

Determining the Winner:

  1. Count the cards in your Secondary Pile.
  2. The player with the FEWEST cards wins.
  3. Tie-breaker: If card counts are equal, sum the carbon scores. The lowest total score wins.
