Will there be a Print and Play version?
We don’t think Daybreak is a good candidate for print and play due to the large component demands. However, one of our stretch goals is to create a web-based digital version of the game that is free for everyone.

Will this game be available in my language?
We don’t have immediate plans for localized editions, but if the project is successful enough, we’re hoping to work with other companies to localize the game throughout 2023.

Why isn’t India (or Canada or Australia or Japan or…) in the game?
Given the practical requirement of a 1–4 player game, we set out to split the world into four, which proved all but simple! We wanted to include as much of it as was reasonable, while giving players plausible choices that they could represent and identify with.

Why does the game end after six rounds?
We know the world won’t end if we haven’t solved climate change by 2050—the current horizon of many governments’ plans—or some similarly distant future. However, giving players up to six rounds to reverse global warming generates a sense of urgency. The time for decisive climate action is now. The longer we delay it, the more future generations will struggle.

What’s the Majority World?
Majority World is an alternative term for Global South, Developing World, or Third World. It describes more accurately and positively countries in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, the Caribbean and Oceania, highlighting the fact that the majority of humanity lives there.

Why does the game end if any one world power has 12 or more communities in crisis?
Fighting climate change is both about mitigating the problem and protecting people from its impacts. While we decarbonize the world, we must build resilience to shield communities from worsening conditions. This loss condition represents the human cost of climate change. It also creates mutual responsibility among players, because no matter how well a single player is doing, they are all as vulnerable as the least protected one.

Why did you set drawdown as a victory condition?
Drawdown happens when the planet can absorb more emissions than human activities generate. Drawdown is a vital milestone, as it means we have stopped global warming and reversed the dangerous trend of the last couple of centuries. In the real world, drawdown doesn’t mean the job is done. In order to make our planet the most habitable for future generations, we must continue to bring down greenhouse gas concentrations to pre-industrial levels. We decided the game won’t model that phase, but instead will focus on the urgent, existential challenge of stopping emissions levels (and therefore temperatures) from rising.

How are you planning to manufacture the game responsibly?
We’ve worked with a sustainability consultant to ensure that Daybreak is made as sustainably as possible. This led us to remove all plastic from the game, affected what kind of wood and ink we’re using, prompted us to design and produce pressed pulp storage solutions within the box, and more. And we have room to get better for future editions of the game! It was not, for example, financially possible for us to manufacture in multiple global locations to reduce emissions associated with shipping, but that’s something we hope to change in the future. We’ll include more information about sustainability in the box.

Is the project EU, Canada, etc. friendly?
Yes! We will cover and subsidize VAT, customs, etc. in the shipping, so you don’t get hit with any unexpected charges.

Why does the game end at 2 degrees warming?
Daybreak follows the Paris Agreement’s goal to “limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.” We know the world won’t end if global warming reaches 2.0ºC, but we also know that at those levels the conditions for humans (and many other species) to thrive will be severely impacted, and many places on our planet rendered uninhabitable. The 2 degrees limit tells us that the higher the temperature, the more future generations will struggle.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
