CMYK Daybreak - A Cooperative Game About Stopping Climate Change, from The Creator of Pandemic

Whether you're into the setting or not the core gameplay and mechanics make for a challenging and very compelling game. Definitely recommend trying this. We lost (somewhat) badly our first time, but once we knew what we were doing and that we had to be aggressive, we won on our second game which was very satisfying.The climate change aspects are also represented really well and it reflects the big picture of what our global society needs to do. Small details are also appreciated such as the details in the cards, including scannable QR codes that link to the real world information/challenge/technology.Matt Leacock once again delivers a great board game design and experience. I'm not sure if this has long-term replayability that Pandemic does, but , but we enjoyed playing this even more than playing Pandemic.It would be awesome to play a 'Legacy' (evolving story) version of this as was done with Pandemic Legacy.

Not only is it a well designed game (made by the same person who made Pandemic), it is well researched to the point that every card has QR codes about the real life impact of certain issues and projects. Not very many games can be informative AND fun at the same time. And to top it off, there are no single use plastics and everything is recyclable or compostable in the box. More games need to do this

There’s lots of boards, tokens, and cards so the setup is rather complicated but just two rounds into the game, you start to understand the flow. Great game and I like how it’s cooperative!

I don't write Amazon reviews very often but I felt especially compelled to write one for this product. I had played this game with friends before, so I already knew that I would like the game itself. However, when my copy of the game arrived, one side of the box lid was almost completely ripped off. I can't really fault Amazon's handling of the product because the reason for the poor condition of the product seems to stem more from the board game manufacturer's (CMYK) decision to forgo shrink wrap in favor of an "eco-friendly" alternative, which is just two strips of paper stickers. I applaud their efforts to be more eco-friendly with their product design (completely in line with the theme of the game itself), but maybe they went a bit overboard in this regard. The sticker clearly didn't do its job and already broke before the product reached my hand, completely destroying the box lid in the process. Is it really eco-friendly if you skip a shrink wrap but also create a significantly higher rate (judging by all the horror stories shared by other Amazon purchasers) of failure such that you're creating a whole bunch of wasted materials through frequent returns?

Super fun game! Great co-op with an educational theme, and has so many cards that allows for a lot of replay ability. My only complaint: the publisher is environmentally aware (obviously, hence the game), so they don’t shrink wrap it to avoid using plastic. Because of this, my box arrived already looking pretty worn; I thought it was a used copy at first. The artwork in the game is gorgeous so I was looking forward to displaying it, but not so much now. If this matters to you, maybe buy at a local shop to ensure ‘new’ condition on purchase. Great game either way!

We bought this for friends so we do not yet know how it plays. However the art and graphics of the game are splendid. Also the quality is amazing. They used thick cardboard for the counters. Truly excellent quality!

Don't expect victory. This game makes you work for it. We've had hours of fun and plenty of close call win and losses at the last moment. Can also be good education on climate and why we need to take care of it. Quick to learn

We've played four times so far with 2 and 4 players. Both experiences are fun, but 2 seems to be too easy and 4 is pretty hard.
