Here is how it is described on their website:
Go Green is a brand new family board game that is packed full of fun, humour, and excitement. Use your wheelbarrow to move around the board collecting fruit, vegetables, pigs and chickens to fill your garden and allotment. The ‘Green Fingers’ cards turn up unexpected twists and turns in your quest to go self-sufficient, so you’ll have to protect your chickens from foxes, sell your produce for profit at the village fair, and avoid drought, Bird flu, and your livestock escaping… The ‘Natural Selection’ cards are interesting, thought-provoking and educational multiple choice questions that players must answer to win Haybales. The ‘Good life’ awaits…so get digging. Can be played from ages 7 up to 100, from 2 to 4 players.
Even Prince Charles has something to say about the game:
..thank you most sincerely for sending your wonderful board game “Go Green”. It is without a doubt a valuable contribution to educating people about the overwhelming sustainability crisis we face – whilst at the same time, being great fun to play. This comes with His Royal Highness’s most grateful thanks and warmest best wishes
