A large-format board game supporting environmental education for children and young people in the field of renewable energy sources. In an accessible and engaging way, it introduces participants to the topic of energy derived from nature and its importance for the environment and the future of our planet. During the game, players learn the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and develop an understanding of how everyday human choices affect sustainable development. The large board format (approx. 1.55 × 2.25 m) allows the game to be played outdoors, in a gymnasium or during educational events, engaging a larger group of participants at the same time. The active form of gameplay promotes learning through movement, helps maintain concentration and increases children's engagement.

The game involves moving around the board using large wooden playing pieces (approx. 15 cm) and rolling a foam die (approx. 8 cm). The board features illustrations showing different methods of obtaining energy, including wind and water turbines, installations using solar energy, as well as examples of non-renewable sources such as coal and gas. During the game, participants learn to recognize them and correctly classify them as renewable or non-renewable energy sources. The simple and clear form of gameplay helps reinforce basic concepts related to energy and environmental protection in a natural way. The game encourages discussion, observation and drawing conclusions.
