Do-it-yourself coalition governmment online


As Tzipi Livni faces the challenge of putting together a government, an online game lets Israelis, the diaspora, and anyone else, really, try out political nous and test coalition building skills. You can pretend to be Livni or Labor leader Ehud Barak, and predict what ought to happen and what will happen. Israel's English daily, Haaretz, and playthenewsgame.com are the sponsors, although you can access the current event games site as a Facebook application, too.

To have a go, simply click here and follow the instructions.

Take one hot topic and try to predict the outcome. Use the game's guides and advisers for advice on what to do - and what not to do!

Good luck and happy coalition building!

Asi Burak, the uber-gamester, emailed Izzy Bee to alert us that Play the News is about to go live. The URL should be www.playthenewsgame.com, if you want to give it a go. You must register, but it's free to cyber-strategize the future. Shalom.
