Simplycycle game by Sonja Eser
When you by the game you get productcards telling you what is wrong about that product.
You are challenged to find solutions. If you don't know any or if you want to see what an expert thinks about it there are for every product card expertcards. These expertcards show how the cradle to cradle certified product looks like.
The game also has action cards and so it provides the opportunity to play the game at three levels from simple to more complex.
