You draw the districts. You decide who wins. Drawcracy is a darkly funny puzzle about gerrymandering — the real-world art of drawing electoral maps to rig who wins before a single vote is counted. Here, a fair map is a failure. The goal is to carve the districts so your side takes more seats than its share of the vote could ever deserve — and to do it without the courts noticing. The catch: the mechanic IS the abuse it's teaching. By the end you won't just know what gerrymandering is — you'll know how it's done, because you'll have done it. HOW IT PLAYS • Read the map — blue and red precincts, a target number of seats, and a vote share that says you shouldn't hit it. • Draw the lines — drag across precincts to carve contiguous districts. Pack your opponents into one throwaway seat, crack them across many, bend the borders. • Win ugly — claim a majority you never earned. • Don't get caught — a live scrutiny meter tracks how brazen your map is. Cross the line and the courts throw it out. WHAT'S INSIDE • A 12-map campaign that escalates from a quiet favour to an outright heist, each ending in a plain-spoken lesson on the real tactic you just pulled. • Endless mode — infinite, freshly generated maps and a climbing Operative Rank that never resets. • Game Center achievements and leaderboards. • A tactics tree of real-world manoeuvres to unlock and equip. THE DEAL • One price. No in-app purchases. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Plays fully offline. Note: Drawcracy is satire. Its factions are abstract Blue and Red — no real parties, candidates, or people are depicted.
