Climate change will have winners and losers. Some potential losers, like polar bears, are well known. Likely winners include species that are not so fussy about their environment, such as yellow star thistles. But it is chancy for any species since we do not know exactly what is going to happen. This work presents the future as a game of chance—in the form of the familiar game of dominoes. Winners and losers are presented on the dominoes, with a description of each species in the booklet.
