Limit

Hand-size limits and which cards each class may access are defined in the Political phase rules: card access is linked to a social class’s A position and each class has a specific hand-size limit (see pp.12–13).

Some cards have instant effects and are resolved immediately, while others are permanent and must be decided during the Decide Policy step—follow the card’s type and the Political phase timing rules (p.13).

Supply and shortages for renewable resources are handled in the Social phase: you must suffer shortages when stock is insufficient, but surplus can be conserved according to the Social phase rules to reduce shortages (see pp.14–15).

Public Order outcomes (Uprising, Growth, Boom) are resolved as described: each scenario has specific effects on class C population, military requirements and finances which are applied immediately during the Public Order step (pp.18–19).

Market transactions change stocks and move the price track according to the Transactions rules: buying removes stock and may raise prices while selling adds stock and may lower prices—follow the market/price track procedure in setup and the Transactions section (pp.6 and 25).

The optional Alliance step explains offering, leaving and excluding players and the permitted transfers (military/economic) between allies; refusing help or exclusion has specified consequences for demilitarization and transfers described in the Alliance rules (pp.21–22).
