Bangalore: If you're fed up of being the pawn in the political drama you see everyday, here's your chance to make your Prime Ministerial aspirants your pawns.

The portal indiavoting.com has launched 'polliticking,' a snakes and ladders game where your favourite politicians move to your tunes. It can be as unpredictable as General Elections 2009, but one thing's for sure: there can't be a hung Parliament here - you have to have a winner!

“There are 36 characters brought on board, each has 200 animations. You have your own allies. If you are in UPA, it takes you up; if you are in NDA, it's the reverse,” says Amit Tripathi, MD of Insite Digital, the company that’s developed the game.

The game was unveiled by Insite Digital on Wednesday. It also features quizzes to test political gyaan, aimed at creating awareness with fun.

The company plans to launch an online cricket-politics game called the Indian Political League.

“We're launching it on April 16 before the IPL begins. It's a pure-play game of cricket where you choose sides and parties you want to represent and choose the combinations and go out and bat,” says Tripathi.

But don't just sit all day and choose your candidates online, do remember to go out and vote too.
