Description
In Mapmaker: The Gerrymandering Game, you're a mapmaker with a mission to help your party win the next election by redrawing district borders. As a member of one of four parties, you'll compete against other mapmakers to create districts that give your party the upper hand. With each turn, you'll place district borders, trying to enclose areas with the most voters to claim them for your party. The game is easy to learn and plays out in just 30 to 45 minutes, but it's full of strategic maneuvering and surprises. You'll need to think carefully about how to crack and pack voters, creating districts that will guarantee your party's victory. With its unique blend of area majority and enclosure mechanics, Mapmaker offers a fun and hands-on way to explore the world of gerrymandering, making it a great choice for 1 to 4 players looking for a fun and strategic game.
