3 Game Play The game is play in turns in clockwise order. Each turn a player chooses one action only. A player may not pass. Role Actions A player may claim to influence any of Roles in play and take Role action as defin on any of 5 Role Action cards in game. After action is chosen or players have an opportunity to challenge or counteract that action. If challeng a player must show y have relevant Influence card If an action is not challeng or counteract, action automatically succes. A quick summary of actions available to each role is on Influence card. See relevant Role Action cards for full details. Challenges are resolv first before any action or counteraction is resolv. When a player has lost all ir lives and have no face down cards in front of m, y are immiately out of game. They leave ir cards face up and return all ir coins to Treasury. The game ends when re is only one player left. Actions The Role Action cards and General Action cards define available actions a player may take in game. A player may choose any action y want and can afford. General actions are always available and do not require a specific Influence card. To choose a Role Action, a player must claim that requir role is one of ir face down Influence cards. They can be telling truth or bluffing. for role y were claiming. If multiple role actions are claim, y are resolv in a clockwise order starting with active player. Counteractions Counteractions can be taken by or players to intervene or block a player s action. Counteractions operate like role actions. Players may claim to influence any of roles and use ir abilities to counteract anor player. They may be telling truth or bluffing. They do not ne to show any cards unless challeng. Counteractions may be challeng, but if not challeng y automatically succe. If an action is successfully counteract, effect of counter-action is appli, but in all or respects action succes. For instance if an action says pay 4 coins to kill anor player and that is counteract by player to stop kill, life is not lost but 4 coins are still paid. They do not ne to reveal any of ir face down cards unless y are challeng. If y are not challeng y automatically succe. Unless orwise specifi, counteractions can only be taken by target of an action in ir own defense. If a player starts ir turn with 10 (or more) coins y must launch a Coup that turn as ir only action. Influence cards with word Block usually mean that y counteract same card and prevent loss of life or coins that that same card s action provides. The corresponding Role Action cards specify Counteraction for that role. If re are not enough coins or cards to fully take an action you may partially take it. There is no limit to coins in Treasury, if none remain use any additional counters. General Actions If multiple counteractions are made, y are taken in clockwise order starting with active player. Always available and cannot be challeng or counter-act. Challenges Income: Take 1 coin from Treasury. Coup: Pay 7 coins to Treasury and launch a Coup against anor player. Any action or counteraction (excluding General Actions) can be challeng. Any or player can issue a challenge That player immiately loses a life. A Coup is always successful. If you start your turn with 10 (or more) coins you are requir to launch a Coup. to a player regardless of wher y are involv in action.

4 Once an action or counteraction is declar or players must be given an opportunity to challenge. Unless orwise specifi any challenge has to be made before next claim. Once play continues challenges cannot be retro-actively issu. If a player is challeng y must prove y had requir influence by showing relevant role is one of ir face down cards. If y can t, or do not wish to, prove it, y lose challenge. If y can, challenger loses. A challenge is fully resolv before returning to play. Whoever loses challenge immiately loses a life. If a player wins a challenge by showing relevant character card, y first return that card to Court deck, re-shuffle Deck and take a random replacement influence card. (That way y have not lost a life and or players do not know new influence card y have). Then action or counteraction is resolv. If an action is successfully challeng entire action fails. For instance any coins paid as cost of action are return to player. Note: Double Dangers of using Force It is possible to lose 2 lives in one turn if you unsuccessfully defend against an attack. For example, if you challenge a Guerrilla us against you and lose challenge, you will lose 1 life for lost challenge and n 1 life for successful Execution by Guerrilla. Or if you bluff having a Guerrilla as a counter-action to Execution attempt and are successfully challeng, you will lose 1 life for lost challenge and n lose 1 life for successful Execution. Total (Lack of) Trust Any negotiations are allow, but none are ever binding. Players are not allow to reveal any of ir cards to or players. No coins can be given or lent to or players. There is no second place. If multiple challenges are issu, y are prioritis by who made challenge first and if in doubt in clockwise order from active player.
