Ekos: The Path to Resilience

Ekos: The Path to Resilience is a multiplayer board game that challenges a group of six community members — a Mayor, City Planner, Community Organizer, Ecologist, Designer, and Modeler — to come together and envision a more equitable and sustainable Ekos in the face of climate change and other challenges. During the game of Ekos, players alternate between building SETS and responding to moderate and extreme events. Working cooperatively to challenges earns you Sustainability, Equity, and Resilience points. Ekos was developed with the goal of creating a playful platform for individuals and communities to discuss and learn about issues of urban resilience, climate governance, and community based codesign.
