Think you're the original Austinite? Then you should pit your knowledge of local trivia against a board game.
Cityism is a trivia game all about Austin. Creator Keely Morgan chose the name as a play on the definition of nationalism.
"The word nationalism implies pride in your nation and so I came up with Cityism because I think there is a growing pride, and you know Austinites have an unreasonable pride in their city," she said.
The idea is to answer questions about sports, culture, events, history, civics - and don't forget location. Cityism questions your knowledge about places like Mount Bonnell, The University of Texas and the Texas Chili Parlor.

Morgan said one of her favorite questions is, "Austin has the largest population of what urban mammal?"
The answer, of course, is bats.
The game is designed so you can bet on which topic you know best, be it sports or history. It's been out about a year and it's catching on.
"You don't need a Ph.D. to play it. It's easy for me to answer the questions. That's what I like about it a lot," player Bob Peck.
But don't think this game is too easy. Neely Ashman says she realized when it comes to Austin "I don't know as much as I thought I did."
And if you're a newcomer or transplant, don't worry, you get more points for answering the questions correctly.
"I've been here for about six months and so it's a good way for me to learn a little more about Austin," player Asad Rahbar said.
