    paper Biodiversity Offsetting Game

    ![Offsetting Game board game] (https://www.twine.net/signin

    We have developed a tabletop game about biodiversity offsetting. The game simulates the mechanics of biodiversity offsetting and the controversies surrounding its implementation as a tool for nature conservation and land-use planning.

    In Kompensaatiopeli two teams of players, conservationists and developers compete against each other. The game is played on a game board, or play area, consisting of 25 nature tiles set in a 5×5 square. Developers aim to replace nature tiles with project tokens, while conservationists aim to keep as many nature tiles on the table as possible. At the end of the game, the team with more points wins the game.
