Energy Sources

The world is constantly seeking new energy sources, especially the so-called "renewable sources," which are crucial. These sources are inexhaustible and environmentally friendly, explaining the large investments in research.

Examples of renewable energy sources include solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and ocean energy. Some of these are well-developed in their respective technologies, while others are still expensive and require further research. Regardless, they are essential for the future.

Pedagogical Tips

Want to teach your child about management and strategy? Rise to Power is the perfect game!

As mentioned in Strategic Tips, the game demands your attention, strategy, and management during both your turn and your opponents' turns. The Contracts they choose can also be valuable for your Plant, and you can challenge them.

Therefore, focusing on the game is crucial. Acting strategically and managing the amount of Prism available in your Plant, as well as how much you can store, is essential.

It’s a great opportunity to teach your child that they can’t spend everything in their turn without saving some Prism. If you don’t manage this well and can’t store Prism, you’ll lose challenges to opponents. Keeping a resource reserve is good in the game and in life! Rise to Power is a great ally in this sense!

In this regard, the concept of management is always present, stimulating this idea throughout the game. It’s a management lesson while having fun!

Pedagogically, Rise to Power is a lesson in administration in game format!

I recommend adding Rise to Power to your collection!!
