The objective of Ekos is to be the first player to earn 15 Ekos points.

A group of 6 community members — a City Council Speaker, City Planner, Community Organizer, Ecologist, Designer, and Modeler — must come together to design and build a network of resilient systems to envision a more equitable and sustainable Ekos in the face of climate change and other challenges. It is your mission to use resources wisely, collaborate with the other community members, balance the needs of the city with your personal vision, and improve the adaptive capacity of your systems against extreme events like heat waves, floods, power outages and pandemics.
