Sustainapoly is a board game that promotes sustainability through play. Made entirely from upcycled materials, it encourages families to learn about eco-friendly choices while having fun together.
In this city-building game, players move around the tiles surrounding a city built from reused cardboard, bottles, and more. Each ‘property’ tile introduces a infrastructure like solar farms, water trash collectors, or self-watering farms. Look closely and you’ll spot these infrastructures within the city. Each property card also shares a fun fact about green innovations that help protect our planet.
A key feature of the game is the use of carbon credits, which challenges the players to think about the impact of their decision. By earning or losing credits, they learn how smart choices can build a greener Singapore.
The creative skyscrapers and eco-friendly features on the board are powerful reminders that caring for the environment is the first step towards a brighter future.
