Today, we're going full nerd to talk about a new board game — Catan: New Energies. The game's goal is simple: Build and develop a modern-day island without catastrophically polluting it. Although the concept mirrors the effects of climate change, those words don't actually appear in the game. NPR correspondent <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/348779465/nathan-rott">Nate Rott</a> talks to <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/767284140/emily-kwong">Emily </a>about the thinking behind the new game and how the developers hope it can start conversations around energy use and pollution.
