I have 30 kids in a social studies/geography class, that are very 
ambitious and interested in maps etc.  and they need a place to play 
make their own roads etc
Until they get the hang of it and the squabbles of who owns what roads 
and what gets mapped and what doesn't, there are a few bullies and a few 
that think everything is an "alternate reality" so I don't want them to 
mess up the real OSM data.  So since I have a bunch of hardware at my 
disposal I thought I would setup a complete replacement that works the 
same and we'd come up with a game or so to learn mapping and geography 
one of my kids has written a small rpg that his classmates are enjoying 
and  I think it would be adaptable to a map game.
