Meet Permit Pending: The board game that turns housing policy into a fun, hands-on adventure.

Created by the Building Industry Association of Clark County, Permit Pending lets players step into the shoes of housing developers and work their way through land acquisition, zoning, permitting, environmental review, infrastructure needs, and construction surprises.

Along the way, players see how each delay, requirement, and decision can add time, cost, and complexity before a home can ever break ground, all of which puts affordability directly into the spotlight.

Perfect for game nights with jurisdiction staff, city council workshops, Career Technical Education classrooms, community forums, outreach events, and legislative visits, Permit Pending brings people to the table – literally – to spark better conversations with leaders, students, and future housing professionals about housing supply, affordability, and the real-world impact of local regulations.

It is smart, interactive, and just the right amount of competitiveness – because sometimes the best way to understand housing policy is to play it.
