About this game

CO2: Second Chance puts you in the boardroom as a green-energy CEO racing to out-build fossil fuels before the planet tips past saving. You draft power plant projects, place them across the world map, and juggle worker placement with a live market for carbon shares, where prices genuinely swing based on what the whole table is dumping or hoarding. A hidden semi-cooperative layer means your rivals are also, quietly, the only people who can save the shared atmosphere with you. Every plant you build lowers the global pollution track, but only if enough of you commit to the same clean future. Heavy, handsome and unusually optimistic for a climate game.
