This resource was produced by a group of Year 8 pupils from Egglescliffe School in Stockton with guidance and support from their teacher and a local company BASF who generously sponsored the production of the games. Its main purpose is to make pupils more aware of sustainability issues related to industry and can be used during science or citizenship lessons.

It is a game consisting of two decks with the players starting on the lower deck and when they have accumulated a fixed amount of Euros, they move to the upper deck which concentrates on green issues.

This board game involves four players. Rules and instructions are provided and it would be advisable for the teacher(s) to be familiar with the instructions before using the game with the pupils
