Ready or Not is a serious(ly fun), semi-cooperative game designed by Deerfield River Valley Resilience in Shifting Environments (RISE) to engage the public in conversations surrounding flood risk and scenario planning.
Welcome to Beartown Valley - a quaint, rural region nestled in a mountainous valley in New England! As a newly elected town official, you are responsible for ensuring that your town is successful. Your goal is to provide mandatory services to your residents without overstraining the municipal tax base while preparing for the future (and whatever it may bring)!
As you navigate your time in office, you will be directly controlling the way in which your town develops. This means that you have the final say on how your town builds, grows, and invests. Each of the towns in the Valley are facing similar challenges and opportunities for growth. You are all working to help your individual town succeed and become the dominant town in the region.
