Metaphor problems:
People who make games, e.g. Hasbro, Milton Bradley, et al, WANT their games to be popular, so they've a vested interest in it being fun & fair.
The people who made our system of elections do not want more people voting, nor for it to be fair, & certainly not fun. They've a vested interest in keeping power in the hands of white, male, land-owners.
They only SAY they want more voting when they believe only "their" people are listening to them.
