I just want to bring the following to the list's attention. It is a game project designed to bring understanding to the publishing landscape.

Here is the announcement I received:

Thank you for getting in touch with us about our new game the Publishing Trap. The Publishing Trap resources are now available to download from: http://bit.ly/2yjrjzj

We recommend you download and read the Instructions first. 

Please contact us if you have any problems and don't forget to fill in our feedback form (http://bit.ly/2xKKAVT) once you have used the resources as this will help us improve the next iteration of the game! Also feel free to talk about the game on social media using the hashtag #publishingtrap and mentioning @ukcopyrightlit 

We promise not to share your personal data with anyone else and the reason we are collecting it is so we can understand who is interested in the game, and to set up a development community. We will be in touch in due course with an update on this, but please let us know if you do not want us to contact you.

Very best wishes

Chris (@cbowiemorrison) and Jane (@jsecker)

As a pedagogical tool, such a game, if well designed (I have not yet had time to study it), could be the "Monopoly" of scientific publishing.
