New York Newspaper Creates Ballot Access Board Game

The Gotham Gazette has created an on-line computer board game, “Ballot Bump”. See it here. The game has three players, a Pigeon who wants to run in a major party primary without support from the party organization; a Heron who wants to run in a party primary with party support; and a Starling who wants to run as an independent.

Although the game seems to start as a maze, it really is a knowledge game. One advances one’s bird along the maze by correctly answering multiple-choice questions about the process of getting on the ballot.
