How to Save a Wolrd (EN)

How to Save a World is a strategy board game set in a high-stakes science-fiction scenario where players must prevent a catastrophic asteroid impact. Each player leads a scientific organization tasked with determining the best combination of solutions: laser destruction, orbital shielding, or species evacuation.

The gameplay blends worker placement, resource management, and hand-building. Players assign their landers between the planet and the moon to perform actions, develop technologies, and advance key projects. According to the rulebook, each action requires careful resource use and contributes to long-term efficiency .

A defining feature is the advancing asteroid threat. At the end of each round, the asteroid moves closer, triggering effects and increasing pressure on all players. Strategic planning must constantly adapt as the situation evolves and projects progress toward resolution .

The card system adds depth and replayability. Action, Boost, and Species cards allow players to build unique strategies, gain advantages, and pursue specific scoring goals. Species cards, in particular, provide endgame objectives that shape decisions throughout the game .

How to Save a World is ideal for players looking for a deep, evolving experience with meaningful decisions and a strong thematic arc. It stands out as a modern resource management game with a dramatic and rewarding finish.

Designed by Yuval Grinspun and published by Burnt Island Games, the game delivers a highly immersive and strategic experience with strong replayability.
