It provides hands-on understanding of the real redistricting process, including drawing district maps and interacting with strongheaded party bosses, congresspeople, citizen groups, and courts. Players directly experience how crafty manipulation of lines can yield skewed victories for either party - effectively allowing politicians to choose their voters instead voters choosing their politicians.

In addition the game provides details on a variety of reform measures - including a playable version of Rep. Tanner's "Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act" (H.R. 2642) - as well as features that allow players to get involved in the public discourse: by dialoging with fellow citizens in an online forum, spreading the word to their friends, and even writing their congressperson directly from the game.
