Das Nieder sterreichspiel (the game of Lower Austria) was used by the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) as a promotional giveaway ahead of the 2005 Lower Austria elections. In each turn of this rare foray by Reiner Knizia into the realm of trivia games, one player must decide whether the answer to a question related to the eponymous Austrian province is higher or lower than an estimate determined by the other players. A correct guess earns a point; the player with the most points after 21 questions have been answered correctly is the winner. Incidentally, the People's Party wound up winning the election.
