Climate change involves uncertain probabilities of catastrophic risks, and very longterm consequences of current actions. Climate economics, therefore, is centrally concerned with the treatment of risk and time.

We report on the construction of real-world dice equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology that support the automated readout and processing of rolled results. Such augmented dice help to build “smart” tabletop games that are able to unobtrusively detect the players’ actions, allowing them to better focus on the gameplay and the social interaction with other players. Since ...
