Afte...My family and I play-tested this last night. After "one year", my youngest daughter (the consultant), won. My eldest daughter complained that she always loses to her sister in any game like this (she was a consumer, and came in last). My wife was a producer and came in second. I was a public agency, and came in second to last.<br /> <br />We noted a couple of issues:<br /><br />You probably want to use two decks of cards. We ran into budget issues twice in a row with four players. With more you'd probably never get past the first stage.<br /><br />Influence used to get a ballot ready for voting should go back to the influence pool, rather than on the project. That way, it's "spent", rather than remaining in the pool. It creates a bit of tension around getting the project ready: Who will do the work?<br /><br />Position is very important, as it can prevent you from participating in projects.<br /><br />There aren't rules about killing projects, but I suppose there should be. <br />You can oppose a project, divvying up the influence spent on it with other opponents if successful. For opposition to succeed, there must be more opponents than proponents. To oppose, simply apply your influence card to it face down. Face down cards spent opposing the project are split among the project participants if the project succeeds. They are returned to the project opposers if the project fails. Opposers can vote on the project if they choose (whereas participants MUST vote). Opposers gain no influence cards for opposing a project during the influence distribution phase.<br />Keith W.
