This version also features a co-operative mode of play as well as solo play based on goals.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, the governments of the world faced unprecedented demand for energy, and polluting power plants were built everywhere in order to meet that demand. Year after year, the pollution they generate increases, and nobody has done anything to reduce it. Now, the impact of this pollution has become too great, and humanity is starting to realize that we must meet our energy demands through clean sources of energy. Companies with expertise in clean, sustainable energy are called in to propose projects that will provide the required energy without polluting the environment. Regional governments are eager to fund these projects and to invest in their implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf the pollution isn't stopped, it's game over for all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the game CO₂, each player is the CEO of an energy company responding to government requests for new, green power plants. The goal is to stop the increase of pollution while meeting the rising demand for sustainable energy — and of course profiting from doing so. You will need enough expertise, money, and resources to build these clean power plants. Energy summits will promote global awareness, and allow companies to share a little of their expertise while learning still more from others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn CO₂, each region starts with a certain number of carbon emissions permits (CEPs) at its disposal. These CEPs are granted by the United Nations, and they must be spent whenever the region needs to install the energy infrastructure for a project or to construct a fossil fuel power plant. CEPs can be bought and sold on a market, and their price fluctuates throughout the game. You will want to try to maintain control over the CEPs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoney, CEPs, green power plants that you've built, UN goals you've completed, company goals you've met, and expertise you've gained all give you victory points (VPs), which represent your company's reputation — and having the best reputation is the goal of the game … in addition to saving the planet, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/u\u003e 1-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSuggested Ages:\u003c\/u\u003e 12 And Up\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eLanguage(s):\u003c\/u\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/214887\/co-second-chance\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to BGG.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/BGG_logo.jpg\" style=\"width: 60px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yWJouoqJ-PU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to Youtube.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/Youtube.png\" style=\"width: 105px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Giochix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52055032201565,"sku":"GIO00049","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/2442\/6589\/files\/cosecondchance_633370f9-3efd-49e1-b69f-a4a6b4b069dc.jpg?v=1771318574"},{"product_id":"de-vulgari-eloquentia-deluxe-edition","title":"De Vulgari Eloquentia: Deluxe Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Edition 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eItaly, late Middle Ages: The fabric merchants need to write down their contracts in a language that everyone can understand, and the literates are looking for an alternative to the elite of the traditional Latin language, so the Volgare, the language spoken by the common people, taken from the dialects spoken in the various Italian regions, starts to gain relevance. During this period, Francesco D'Assisi writes his famous Canticle of the Sun and Dante writes the Divine Comedy, both written in Volgare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eDe Vulgari Eloquentia\u003c\/strong\u003e, players have to do their part in the creation of this new language!

Who will embrace the religious life, and who will remain a merchant? Some of the players can become a famous banker, someone else can climb the church's hierarchy to be the next Pope!

Players can also gain VP by improving their social status, for example, if the merchant becomes a banker or the Friar becomes a Benedictine Monk or the Cardinal becomes Camerlengo or Pope. Moreover, VP can be gotten with money and with the support of Politicians, Noblemen, Abbesses, and the Amanuensis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a totally new re-designed edition of De Vulgari Eloquentia which features new mechanisms and new elements.
