In the game, inspired by Pope Francis’s Encyclical Letter, the players receive, for communal management, a beautiful, green forest full of old trees with big canopies. The forest is their home – it offers protection, livelihood and development. The players are responsible for the consequences of managing common good.

Players decide what they want to do – how many trees they want to cut. The profit of one person can be the loss for the others.
