Bloomberg has launched a new interactive game that challenges players to take on the role of the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, currently Jeremy Hunt. The game tasks players with making decisions on which taxes to cut in an effort to win over voters ahead of an election, while also attempting to avoid crashing the markets. Bloomberg journalists Joe Mayes and Francesco Lacqua attempted the game, indicating it doesn't always go as planned. The game is designed to be accessible and free to play, with no paywall restricting access.
