Everything you need to know to start your mission to end global hunger.
The year is 2035.
Despite all our advances, 735 million people still go to bed hungry every night. Climate disasters are intensifying. Supply chains are fracturing. Time is running out.
The United Nations has assembled an elite team of specialists—each of you—for humanity's most ambitious mission yet: to build sustainable food infrastructure across all 30 regions of the world before the crisis becomes irreversible.
You have different skills. Different strengths. But one shared purpose.
The world is watching. The clock is ticking. And millions of lives hang in the balance.

One for each player
Counts down from 12 rounds
Unfold the game board in the center of the table. Place the Round Tracker on space 12.
Shuffle the Event deck (Blessings and Disasters together). Place face-down near the board. Set Region cards aside—they're reference only.
Sort tokens by type and place within reach of all players. This is the shared resource pool.
Each player draws or selects one Role card. Read your special ability aloud. Place your pawn on the UN Headquarters (center region).
Each player takes 2 Food, 2 Tech, and 2 Currency tokens. Some roles may modify this.
Select your difficulty level (see Difficulty section). This determines starting conditions and round count.
Build at least one facility (Farm, Factory, or Bank) in every single region on the map before the rounds run out.
This is a fully cooperative game. Discuss strategies openly. Share resources freely. Plan together. You win or lose as a team.
On your turn, you may take 3 actions. You can take the same action multiple times.
Move your pawn to an adjacent connected region. Connections are shown by lines on the board.
Take 1 resource token from the pool. You may only hold up to 8 tokens.
Pay the resource cost to build a facility in your current region. See Building section.
Exchange resources with another player in the same region. Any amount, any combination.
At a Bank you built, trade 2 Currency for 1 of any other resource.
Use your role's special ability if applicable. See your Role card for details.
Facilities are the key to victory. Each produces resources and counts toward completing regions.
After all players have taken their turns, draw one Event card. Read it aloud and resolve its effect immediately.
Positive events that help your mission:
Negative events that challenge your team:
You win the game when:
"Against all odds, your team united humanity and ended global hunger. The world will never forget what you accomplished together."
You lose the game if:
"Time ran out. Millions continue to suffer. But tomorrow is a new day—will you try again?"
Choose your challenge. We recommend starting with Normal for your first game.
Share your plans, resources, and ideas every turn. The team that talks together, wins together.
Currency flexibility is powerful. A early bank lets you convert resources as needed.
Don't cluster together. Cover more ground by spreading across different continents.
Your special ability exists for a reason. Don't forget to leverage it at key moments.
Always know how many rounds remain. Pace your building to finish in time.
The Disaster cancel is precious. Save it for events that would truly devastate your progress.
Now that you know the rules, it's time to put your skills to the test. Gather your team and begin the fight against global hunger.
