    What would you do about the drought if you were Jerry Brown?

    You can test options in a new two- to three-player board game by Bay Area-based graphic designer Alfred Twu that allows you to play the politics of water in California.

    Caroline Chamberlain reports on her experience playing California Water Crisis and talks to Twu about what drives him to make games about complex issues (next up for Twu: San Francisco's housing crisis!), and why CWC is quite unlike Monopoly.
