In Bloom: The Saga of the Poop Fertilizer Economy, players serve as the director of SAGA:The Sustainable Agricultural Growth Administration. In this role, their goal is to foster economic growth across five different counties while reducing agricultural runoff and gross algal blooms. To win, players must develop local trade networks, employ a range of economic and environmental policies, and balance the needs and perspectives of bickering townsfolk. A key focus of the game is learning about the relationship between agricultural runoff and water quality, while exploring how markets that allow farmers to sell excess manure can lead to cleaner water and economic sustainability.
