Critical Collapse is a game about survival from ourselves, our own worst enemy! Critical Collapse is a highly complex board game that will not appeal to a very large audience. not because of its complexity but because of what it exposes about us, and that is that we are responsible for the continuation of human survival. What will you do when territories within your own country begin to turn on you because of food and fuel shortages? What will you do when you are the most powerful nation on the planet with only a few minor countries standing in your way to total global domination, but a comet is about to annihilate all life unless you can somehow convince the other nations that you must work together? What will you do when global warming no longer threatens but is happening, and you are the major cause of it?
Critical Collapse is all this and more. Critical Collapse is where we are today. What will you do?

Originally like many of the bookshelf games of yore, the non-digital version of Critical Collapse would have used cardboard die cut pieces, a board, box, etc., but as I came to understand the theme I chose, the idea of traditional mediums made me feel hypocritical. That's when I had to ask myself "Why am I creating this game?" And my answer to myself is "Hope".
