 The "Game of Floods
<https://www.marincounty.org/depts/cd/divisions/planning/csmart-sea-level-rise/game-of-floods>"
was developed by the County of Marin (California) as a public education
activity on sea level rise adaptation, including traditional flood
protection measures, green infrastructure approaches, and policy/zoning
changes.

Four to six participants are tasked with developing a vision for ‘Marin
Island 2050,’ a hypothetical landscape that highlights the conditions that
will be experienced in Marin in coming years with sea level rise and
increased storm impacts causing the loss or deterioration of homes,
community facilities, roads, agricultural land, beaches, wetlands, lagoons,
and other resources. Wetland and shoreline restoration is among
the adaptation tools.

The game was recently recognized by the Yale Climate Connections
<https://www.yaleclimateconnections.org/2017/08/new-board-game-challenges-players-to-confront-rising-sea-levels/>
and has received several awards. Marin County has included this activity in
public workshops and provides the materials online or by email for anyone
wishing to host their own adaptation planning party!
