The game presents a stark reminder that we have only a limited time left to achieve the 2030 SDGs, emphasising the urgency of action, both collective and individual. As the game unfolded, we experienced firsthand the tough choices and trade-offs required for sustainability. The game underscored the power of collaboration, discussion, and balanced approaches in overcoming these global challenges.
