July 9, 2026: The Most Depressing Fun Game You'll Play Today

. . . Or is it the most fun depressing game you'll play today?

Gerrymandle is an online game that challenges you to draw fake (abstract) district maps to favor different voting groups. Can you win more districts than anyone else even though you have just 38% of the vote? What if you only have 10 percent of the vote?! It's easy with a map, a few clicks of a mouse, and one weird trick.

It's entertaining, it's informative, it's downright sad – you'll [EMOTE] until you [EMOTE]! (On the positive side, it uses hexes . . . which are pretty fun all by themselves.)
