Lithium

In Lithium, you play as one of three social groups of your choice – Activists, Locals, or the City – who mobilize against a planned lithium mining project in Cínovec, Czechia. The developer seeks to start mining quickly, regardless of the locals’ interests. You aim to halt this project and initiate a debate about a just and environmentally friendly solution.

• Will you stall the mining project so the developer cannot finish his projects? Or will you join forces with the remaining social groups for a collective action? The second can be reached by organizing a deliberative forum about the environmental consequences of such mining.

• To win the game, it is essential to cooperate with all social groups to gain societal support for your actions. Each social group has different actions and tools at its disposal.

   

• Every action you take may provoke unexpected reaction. You to consider various factors when choosing a winning strategy. These factors include the local community, the global economy, the climate crisis, the impact on nature, and a just energy transition.
