Final Days to Support ‘Rescue Polar Bears: Data & Temperature’ on Kickstarter

While the game has a bit of an odd name, there’s no doubt Rescue Polar Bears: Data & Tempature has had an extremely successful Kickstarter run. The game, from Mayday Games and TWOPLUS Games, tasks one to four players with cooperating to gather climate change data to influence government policies while also trying to save polar bears from a deteriorating environment. The project is nearly 900% funded and you can reserve a copy of the game for a $50.00 pledge through April 23rd.

From Mayday:

Each player steers a unique rescue ship to complete a cooperative mission in the Arctic. Save the Polar Bears together or we all lose!

Rescue Polar Bears: Data & Temperature is a cooperative game based on Rescue Polar Bears with a new data and temperature system added to the game design to make the strategy more diversified.

The consumption of fossil fuel and releasing of greenhouse gases yield the global warming. Around the north pole, the last icebergs are melting and the polar bears are facing the risk of being extinct. The players form a scientific organization. They try to collect data about climate change to persuade the governments to change their energy policy. At the same time, they also need to prevent polar bears from sinking into the freezing water.

Each player drives a rescue ship of different ability to complete the mission on the Arctic Ocean. As long as the players collectively gather enough data, they win together. However, if too many polar bears sink into the water, everyone loses.
