The aim of the boardgame is to get to know the geoparks’ economic framework, to familiarise with the geoproduct concept and to learn about GEOfood.

This is a participative game, so you are welcome to modify it as you wish.

To play the game you need to:

1. Download the pdf files, print (colour or not) and cut the pieces.

2. Find something to use as figurines. They need to be small enough to stand only on one segment of the A3 board. You need one figurine for each player.

3. Find a dice

4. Read the rules

5. Have fun!

You can create your own board with your Geopark map; you can add new types of food or create new development cards.

Contact the game creators and let us know how you improved the game.

If you want the boardgame translated in your language, send us the translation and we will modify the game design for you. Please Contact: cristian.ciobanu@unibuc.ro
