'Top Trumps' game for open data. #70

Perhaps using:

As an educational tool, it would be great to use a CSV dump of the World Factbook (like https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1BkMjh3E0_U7D6mi6gwtPGvowZ8MqBnRE0HaI but not that one) to build a game where two people in a browser can play, via websockets, top-trumps with country details.

Should be easy to specify a new CSV and choose which fields make up the 'playing cards'.
