About
Substack
Eau Doom is a speculative fiction olfactory board game, positing a future of environmental collapse in which plants are rapidly going extinct; players need to play cooperatively to identify different plant scents and preserve them before they're gone forever.
The game seeks to demonstrate the idea that smell can be an important addition to our collective toolkit for survival if we prioritize strengthening it. I want Eau Doom to serve as a tool people can use to train their noses and develop critical thinking around their sense of smell, as well as to begin thinking about scent as a strategy for fighting against planetary destruction.
The gameboard was designed by Leo Williams.
