Description: The Budget Maze, Gotham Gazette's latest game, guides
you through this complicated and sometimes downright arcane process.
If you're seeking to lobby the powers that be, the game offers a
useful guide. If you're a student or an armchair activist, the three
mazes should help you better understand the tortuous process that
shapes city taxing and spending. Not extremely educational; but may
be a good way to start a more serious endeavor or as an ice-breaker.
