ROUND 1 · YOU DRAW
The majority draws to win 4–1
The drawer's table activity, adapted: "The majority draws a map on the wall to win 4-1 with 60% of the vote." You are the Squares — 15 of 25 voters. Paint five districts of five, each one contiguous, then hold the election.
GAME SIMPLIFICATION The voter grid is a game simplification — 25 voters here, 50 on the drawer's wall. The Squares and Circles are invented parties standing in for the drawer's blue and red.
