• There are some special cards and symbols: * If a hand is depicted next to a means of transport, it means that the players who chose that means of transport need to skip a turn. * On some playing cards, next to one or more means of transport, you can see two possible options with an icon of a man in between with his arms stretched out to the right and left. The players who chose that/those means of transport can chose which option they prefer. * There are five special cards, which can be recognised by their special border (yellow and black stripes). One of those special cards contains an infinity symbol (a figure eight on its side). Once this card has been drawn, the rule holds until the game is over. 
• If a player wants to take a means of transport he doesn’t have in his set of cards anymore, he can swap one of his cards with a card from the central pile or with a card from another player at the beginning of each turn.
• If a player goes bankrupt during the game (no more cards left), he has to return to the starting square and start over.
• Because players need to pay to take the car or the bus and they only have a limited amount of credits, they will need to switch up their vehicle choice throughout the game.
• 1 credit is 1 tree. You can use this as a starting point for a discussion about CO2-emissions, climate change, recycling,… 

• You can create your own set of playing cards with situations corresponding to your local context, so they are recognisable for the players. You can ask the players to come up with additional situations as well.
• When you’re playing with a small and calm group, you can ask the players to draw a bigger road, so they can be the pawns themselves. 
• After the first game is over, you can ask the players to play the game again, starting with the amount of credits they have left. This will lead to different choices.
• If you want to add an element of surprise, don’t mention that the player who has most trees at the end wins the game. That way, players will assume the goal of the game is to reach the finish line the fastest, which allows for an interesting discussion afterwards.
• If you want to be able to discuss the choices each player made during the game, you can write down the name of each player on the blackboard or on a piece of paper and write down the different choices they make next to their names. This way, in case of a draw, you could award the winning place to the player that made the “greenest” choices along the way.
