Who knew that city politics could be such a game?

We spotted this “One City” puzzle earlier this week inside the Wilson Building. Each of the eight wards and the surrounding stars are a different puzzle piece; needless to say, it’s not particularly challenging. Still, were this to hit the market, the possibility of catch phrases is pretty near endless.
“One City: We’re as puzzled as you are!”, for starters.
Also: think of the spinoff potential! Maybe Battleship, but instead of naval command, you’re a parking enforcement officer trying to nail a rogue Maryland commuter. Or Dungeons and Dragons, updated to account for our current politics — Councilmembers and Controversies.
Be right back, we’ve got some trademark applications to file.
