Los Angeles - A group of college students has created an online game where players create a "fantasy team" of U.S. lawmakers and compete to see whose team of policy makers is most effective, Reuters reported. The "Fantasy Congress" game was created with $5,000 in prize money from a school-sponsored entrepreneurship award. "If people cared about politics as much as they care about sports, we'd have a better democracy," Andrew Lee, a senior at Claremont McKenna College and a developer of the game, told Reuters.
