A BALANCING ACT
the characters
As California stands in a precarious position. every decision about construction and development must be guided by an inclusive and diverse set of voices. Yet, the agencies shaping these choices often remain concentrated in the hands of a few, lobbying for their own interests. A Balancing Act expands this narrow panel into a more complex and representative one.
Players can choose from twelve distinct characters, each defined by unique personalities and traits that shape how they participate in the game. Breaking character is non-negotiable—the choices you make must align with your character’s motivations and worldview.
This collection of characters has been designed to mirror the real spectrum of resistance and negotiation that surfaces in decision-making across the California Delta, reflecting both the conflicts and collaborations that define its future.
