Hey BGDF!
One of the members of this forum got in touch and suggested that this game design contest might be of interest:
https://medium.com/@timhwang/the-power-broker-a-game-design-competition-...
We're asking tabletop and video game designers to try to adapt Robert Caro's monumental biography "The Power Broker" into game form. Registration closes on Friday (4/29), with cash prizes and a trophy available.
Let me know if you have any questions!
-Tim
I've never read the book, but it has been moved to the top of my list. I've always been interested in a satisfying tabletop analog to SimCity 2000.
Anyway, I wanted to say that the deadline for game submission itself isn't this Friday, but rather 29 July (according to the OP's link). So, you have about 3 months to work on this. I was initially turned off by what initially appeared to be a very quick deadline.
-Werhner
No I think it was clear that IF you want to participate in this contest, you have until Friday 29 April to submit your candidature.
After that you have 3 months to develop a design and have it ready to be judged.

That's correct - we're just getting all the design teams logged by this Friday, but you'll have three months to actually put the game together.
