Talk:Politics CCG card set

The lists of issues are difficult to skim - how about some icons for them, with crossed circles for the anti versions? (I think the wiki templates should be okay with images in the cornervaloues.) And what do the numbers on the politician cards mean? --Kevan 12:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Icons might work. The numbers mean how much of a support the politician needs to be played - George Shrub needs five more cards supporting it than cards opposing it. Zaratustra 18:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, missed that bit, sorry.

So any victory condition in mind, or would they come out in the cards? --Kevan 17:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

And what does hand size represent, when we have effects that make players draw or discard or have their hand size altered? General backing and influence? (Games are a bit cleaner if there's an agreed meaning; if it's definitely "backing and influence", then people can start making cards that take effect when someone discards a card, because "discarding a card" has an in-theme meaning.) --Kevan 17:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll sketch a victory condition shortly.

Hrm. Yeah, hand size would probably be the general influence of your political party. I'll reorganize the cards.

"On each Party's turn, that Party may turn one of its Politicians into a Candidate. When all Parties have nominated Candidates, the game ends and the Candidate with the most support wins." - this gives all the power to the final player; they'll only make a Candidate if they know they can immediately win with it, and won't if they can't. --Kevan 19:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

True. Force each player to pick a Politician, then?
