‘Distemperate Earth’ is a two player strategy board game based on climate change. Derived from the conversation that John Ruskin started in 1884 in his lecture series about changing weather patterns, ‘Distemperate Earth’ plays out the discoveries we have accepted since as a simple puzzle game.

Galimba has employed atmospheric gradients and 19th century inspired typography to create sci-fi visuals that reflect the science behind Ruskin’s observations. Two players play out the greenhouse gas effect, fighting for triumph in Earth’s atmosphere. One as a ray of Infrared heat trying to escape into space, the other as a trio of Earth’s most aggressive Greenhouse gases trying to trap the heat and prevent its escape.
