Flutterby™! : Fantasy Sports for policy wonks

Want to get together with your friends and play a game that involves building and trading rosters of people whose contributions to society are questionable and negative impacts on the economy are outrageously large?

The IDEAS fantasy league

... allows you to pretend you are at the helm of an economics department. Your goal is to improve its ranking relative to other departments in the league. You can do this by trading economists and by choosing which ones to activate in your roster.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's any objective ranking, so rather than being able to play based on how hilariously wrong their models are, you're just playing based on the popularity contest among other academics.

But now "fantasy economics" is no longer a truism in merely one meaning.
