Russian term or phrase: Игра в трамвай
Здравствуйте. Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести название к ролику, по которому я задавал все предыдущие вопросы. Меня попросили "провентилировать" две формулировки. Вот первая - "Игра в трамвай", т.е. тут имеется в виду, что водители как маленькие дети играют в игрушечные трамвайчики и заезжают на трамвайные пути, пытаясь объехать пробку. О чем речь видно в самом начале ролика: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCVFwO86ZrY

Необязательно переводить дословно. Если у вас есть какой-то хороший креативный вариант перевода, то предложите его, пожалуйста. Но если же кажется, что дословный - оптимальный, то предложите дословный.

Про вторую формулировку спрошу отдельным вопросом. Спасибо!

Explanation:
A pun on the mega-popular 'Game of Thrones'. It's a bit of a stretch to call this maneuvering a 'train' IMHO, but if that's what they want...
