High Court Policy Card

Privilege
The Enactor of the High Court Policy Card draws 2 Action Cards.

Vote
There is always 1 Event Card face-up and ready to be voted on.

Each Event forms a single sentence that consists of a set prefix and 2 possible suffixes: one red and the other blue. The Enactor reads all the text aloud so each player understands its effects.

Each player who has at least 1 Action Card in his hand must submit one as a vote on the Event. To do so, he must decide which Action Card he will use, and whether to vote for the red result or the blue result.

He then places the card face-down beneath the Event Card, making sure that his vote is at the bottom edge of his Action Card.

Resolve the Event
After all votes are submitted, the Enactor counts the totals for each side and announces a winner.

In the case of a tie, the red result wins.

Starting with the Enactor and moving in Rotation, each player resolves the effect on his own faction. If this cannot be done, there is no effect on that player.

For example, if an Event calls for a player to exhaust all his cities, but he is not able to, then nothing happens.

Draw Action Cards
Starting with the Enactor and moving in Rotation, each player may then exhaust his eligible cities to draw Action Cards, one card per city strength.

If any player now has more than 5 Action Cards, he must discard them until his hand is 5 cards or less.
