What Blind Pick is
Blind Pick is a daily geography strategy game. Eight statistics are on the board, from population and GDP per person to forest cover or coffee consumption. Eight countries then appear one at a time, and for each one you decide which open stat it should take. The catch: you do not know which countries are still to come, so every pick is a bet on what the rest of the draft will look like.
Your score is the sum of the world ranks you landed. The game then shows the mathematically optimal assignment, so you can see exactly where the draft slipped. Everyone gets the same eight countries on the same day, one shot each, and the result sits on the global board until midnight in Berlin.
