Our mission is to shift the narrative about our planet's future and inspire hope and action in a fun and interactive way, by bringing an exciting strategic board game into people’s homes.
We (Paul and Abe) were overwhelmed by all the negative climate news and felt the narrative needed to change. How can you present a serious topic in a fun way? With an exciting board game, of course! We both have a passion for playing strategic games, so the idea was clear from the start.
Our first playable prototype was hand-drawn on a big piece of cardboard. Rough around the edges and a long way from the final design, but the core idea was already alive and kicking!
After our first test runs, we realized the game's potential — the concept quickly resonated with the testers. To further improve the experience, we ran our own simulations to fine-tune the balance of the game and its rules.
We tested it hundreds of times, gradually balancing the game with each iteration, and refining the game components along the way.
Working towards the first prototype with the designer and illustrator was a significant milestone. After countless hours during nights and weekends, the game was finally ready for production. The first product—how special!
Now, the most important moment for Ultimatum has arrived. We need your help to make the game a great success.
