Announcing the launch of Take Back Illinois: Education
September 29, 2004 - by Ian Bogost

Take Back Illinois - EducationThe second of four sub-games in the Take Back Illinois Game is now available. This sub-game covers the issue of improving public education in the state. You can also read my general description of the game and the first sub-game, about Medical Malpractice Reform.

Now that two of the four games are available, I want to make a quick comment on the interrelation between the sub-games. For registered players who can save their scores, the score on each sub-game affects your performance on other the other sub-games. So, after you play Education, you might want to go back and play Medical Malpractice again, and vice versa.

Two more sub-games will launch, one each for the next two weeks. The next sub-game covers citizen participation, and the final game covers economic development. Stay tuned here for more information ... there may be some surprises coming.
