Plastic Fighters

Plastic Fighters is a cooperative strategy game for 2 to 4 players where each player takes on the role of an environmental organization fighting marine pollution. Set in a dynamic coastal ecosystem, players must work together to clean up plastic waste, build eco-friendly structures, and protect marine species from extinction. Each player leads one of four associations with unique strengths—such as waste removal, wildlife rescue, research, or public awareness—and manages a personal deck of action cards. As the game progresses, players acquire new cards, respond to event cards that simulate environmental threats, and construct permanent structures on the board to mitigate damage and improve their collective impact. The sea and the waste move each round, challenging players to adapt their strategy and coordinate actions effectively. The game ends after a set number of rounds based on player count, with the final score determined by the number of surviving marine species, built structures, and remaining pollution. Designed to blend fun with ecological awareness, Plastic Fighters combines tactical decision-making with educational depth, offering players an engaging way to reflect on real-world environmental challenges. The initiative benefits from the support of Beyond Plastic Med. —description from the designer
