A game about responsible fashion - Fashion Mind

How to be fashionable without polluting too much?

Fashion Mind is a family board game about responsible fashion in which you put together your dream wardrobe to become the most stylish person… without polluting too much. Every garment has an impact, and can damage our Planet. You will therefore need to find alternatives to fast fashion, or try to answer the Quiz cards correctly, in order to preserve our environment.

At the end, two trophies are awarded: the Mega Stylish card, to the person who collected the most style points, and the Maxi Polluter card, to the one who accumulated the most pollution points. If the same person receives both trophies, they lose their Mega Stylish card.

Because… Pollution is not sexy.

Ages 8+ • 30 minutes • 3 to 8 players

Put together the most stylish wardrobe

A game of Fashion Mind takes place in 3 phases.

At the beginning of each phase, you receive 6 cards. It is up to you to choose: add a new garment to your wardrobe or try to preserve the Planet by answering a Quiz.

Each garment earns style points, but some also have an impact on the Planet and make its thermometer rise. Other garments must be combined to create combinations and earn even more style points. It is up to you to build your strategy!

Be careful, the Planet is shared by everyone. If its thermometer reaches level 7, it becomes unlivable and everyone loses the game. So you will have to be stylish… but not at any cost.

Is the Planet in danger? Try to answer a Quiz card correctly to earn an environmental preservation point or count on the others to make the Planet's thermometer go down, while you quietly collect your style points.

Once you have made your choice, pass your cards to your neighbor on the left and draw a new hand. At each turn, the possibilities change: which garment to keep? Which one to let go? Should you prioritize your style or preserve the Planet?

At the end of each phase, an Event card comes to spice up the game and can turn your plans upside down.

A game to understand the impact of our clothes

The textile industry alone represents several billion tonnes of CO2e emitted each year in the world. To this is added a massive production of clothes, part of which will never be worn: some estimates mention up to several tens of billions of unsold clothes each year.

In France, we buy on average 48 new textile products per person per year. Enough to seriously question our consumption habits.

With Fashion Mind, discover in a fun way the environmental impact of our clothes and the alternatives to fast fashion: second hand, textile reuse, repair, choice of materials…

There is no question of making the players feel guilty! The Quiz cards provide concrete and sourced information about the textile industry and our consumption habits, while the game mechanics allow you to experiment with different ways of dressing and consuming.

Fashion Mind is above all a board game: you think, you try strategies, you steal the best cards… and you learn a lot of things without even realizing it.

A game created in partnership with the National Network of Resource Centers and Recycling Centers

Fashion Mind was created in partnership with the National Network of Resource Centers and Recycling Centers, which participated in its development.

Hundreds of Resource Centers and Recycling Centers all over France have the game so that they can use it notably during awareness workshops on textile reuse.

Being both a family game about responsible fashion and an educational tool, Fashion Mind can be used at home, but also by teachers, associations, resource centers, local authorities and professionals in education and environmental awareness.

An educational booklet to go further

To continue exploring the inner workings of the textile industry after the game, an educational booklet is available for free download with the purchase of the game.

You will find complementary information about the impact of our clothes, fast fashion, textile reuse and alternatives that allow us to make our wardrobe more responsible.
