Special Rules
Most non-Voter cards have certain requirements to be played.
Politicians
A Voter Supports a Politician when they have a stance on a issue in common, and Opposes a Politician when they have opposing stances in a issue. A Politician may be put into play if there's a number (indicated on the card) of Voters in play that Support it. One Supporting Voter cancels one Opposing Voter.
