In +each round, first the Suffragist player and then the +Opposition player must play one card from their +hand and may play one claimed Strategy or State +card from in front of them. + +<p> +When playing a card from their hand, a player has +four options: + +<ol> + +<li> Play a card as an <b>Event</b> + +<li> Play a card for a <b>Campaigning Action</b> + +<li> Play a card for an <b>Organizing Action</b> + +<li> Play a card for a <b>Lobbying Action</b> + +</ol> + +<h4> +Play a Card as an Event +</h4> + +<p> +When a card is played as an Event, its event text +is read and resolved. Some Event cards have a +prerequisite for being played as an Event. If that +prerequisite is not met, then the card may not +be played as an Event. Some Event cards require +a player to spend <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + to play the Event – if the + +player does not have enough <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + to spend, the card + +may not be played as an Event.

However, a +player may spend a <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + to re-roll a failed die roll. + +<p> +After resolving the Event, the card is placed in +the discard pile – unless the Event is a Persistent +Event. Persistent Events should be placed in the +appropriate box on the game board. + +<h4> +Play a Card for a Campaigning Action +</h4> + +<p> +When a card is played for a Campaigning action, the +player rolls a <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_d4.png"> + for each Campaigner they have in play +(on the board). If the player is unsatisfied with the roll, +they may spend a <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + to re-roll all of the dice rolled. + +<p> +Once satisfied with their roll, the player assigns a +die to each of their Campaigners. Each Campaigner +may then place the corresponding number of cubes, +matching the Campaigner's color, in the states +within the region that the Campaigner is in. The +player may spend a <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + to move the Campaigner to +a different region, but all of the corresponding cubes +must be put in the same region.

Then the card is placed in the discard pile. + +<h4> +Play a Card for a Lobbying Action +</h4> + +<p> +When a card is played for a Lobbying action, the +player rolls as many <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_d6.png"> + as they have Campaigners +in play. For each 6 rolled, the player may add one <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_congressional_marker.png"> +to Congress or remove one <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_congressional_marker.png"> + from Congress. Then + +the card is placed in the discard pile. + +<h4> +Play a claimed State or Strategy Card +</h4> + +<p> +When playing a claimed State or Strategy card, the +player may play the claimed card before or after +playing a card from their hand. The text on the +card is read and resolved, similar to a card played +as an Event. After play, the card is removed from +the game. A player may only play one State or +one Strategy card per round. + +<h3> +CLEANUP PHASE +</h3> + +<p> +After the six rounds of the Operations Phase is +the Cleanup Phase. + +<p> +At the end of Turns 1-5, any cards in the "Cards +in Effect for the Rest of the Turn box" are placed +in the appropriate discard pile.

Any time a Strategy card is claimed, + +a new one is drawn for the Strategy deck so that +there are always three Strategy cards available. + +<p> +Claimed cards are always placed face up in front +of the player. A player may play one claimed card +– State or Strategy – in addition to the Event card +that they must play from their hand during a round +of the Operations Phase. After a claimed card is +played, it is removed from the game. + +<p> +When the Oppobot claims a State or Strategy card, +the Oppobot immediately plays that card for the +Oppobot effect listed on the card. + +</blockquote> + +<h2> +FINAL VOTING +</h2> + +<p> +If after six Turns, the Nineteenth Amendment has +been sent to the states but neither player has won +the necessary number of states to win the game +– 36 states for the Suffragist player or 13 states +for the Opposition player – then the game enters +Final Voting. + +<p> +In Final Voting, the players take turns, starting with +the Suffragist player, selecting a state to vote on the +Nineteenth Amendment. Each player rolls a +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_d6.png">. + +Either player may spend a +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + to re-roll their die. +If a player has cubes in the state, then the player +adds that number of cubes to their total roll. + +<p> +Whoever has the higher total wins the state and +places either a <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_green_check.png"> + or <img class="icon" src="../images/icon_red_x.png"> + in the state. The default is + +that the Opposition player wins all ties. However, if +the Suffragist player had previously played <i>Miss Febb +Wins the Last Vote</i>, then the Suffragist player wins +all ties. + +<p> +<i> +EXAMPLE: The Suffragist player has won 35 states +and the Opposition player has won 12 states. +Tennessee is the last state to vote and has two +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_opposition_cube.png">. +</i> + +<p> +<i> +Both Voter Registration and Miss Febb Wins the +Last Vote are in the "Cards in Effect for Final +Voting" so the Suffragist player rolls a +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_d8.png"> + and wins + +all ties. Because Voter Suppression was not played, +the Opposition player rolls a +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_d6.png">. The Suffragist player +has one +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + remaining and the Opposition player has +no +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + remaining. +</i> + +<p> +<i> +The Suffragist player rolls a 5 and the Opposition player +rolls a 4. The Opposition player adds 2 to their roll for +the two +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_opposition_cube.png"> + in Tennessee, so the Opposition player has + +a total of 6 and wins the state. But not so fast – the +Suffragist player spends their last +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_button.png"> + and re-rolls a 6! + +Now both players have a total of 6 and the Suffragist +player wins the state because <i>Miss Febb Wins the +Last Vote</i> allows the Suffragist player to win ties. + +The Suffragist player places their final +<img class="icon" src="../images/icon_green_check.png"> + – the states +have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment and the +Suffragist player has won the game! +</i> + +<h2> +PLAYING WITH TWO +SUFFRAGIST PLAYERS +</h2> + +<p> ... elided ... + +<h2> +PLAYING WITH TWO +OPPOSITION PLAYERS +</h2> + +<p> ... elided ... + +<h2> +MANAGING THE OPPOBOT +</h2> + +<p> ... elided ... + + +<p> +Please visit <a href="https://www.votesforwomengame.com/">www.votesforwomengame.com</a> to see instructional videos +on how‑to‑play, managing the Oppobot, and basic strategies. +If you have any rules questions, do not hesitate to email rules@fortcircle.com . |
