Role play climate activists in a tense night of activity.

A 2-hour game for 3–5 people

In Night at the Barricades you role play climate activists in a tense night of activity. Once play begins you will be on a one hour real time countdown to resolve the situation as best you can.  The whole game is played in one session. Each player creates their own character out of a Job and Personality Type, which gives them moves they can make to act in the fictional world. Despite having different personalities with their own flaws and being under pressure, everyone must work together to try to achieve the activist group’s goals.

Occupy an oil refinery, hold your own against corporate lawyers, hold big polluters to account! Game Master advice and information is provided to help you realise all these scenarios and more!

Night at the Barricades was created by Kyle Thompson, Joost Vervoort, and Lauren McManamon, with layout by Vee Hendro and illustrations by Cory McDaniel and Enora Mercier.
