It would be interesting if the combination of cards you held somehow cumulatively led to your abilities within Agora with the goal being to constantly trade for the right combination of cards that would meet the objectives you desired. For example: "(Legislative) This card grants you two votes on Ordinary proposals of you hold exactly three Judicial cards." "(Judicial) This card permits you to appeal any one Inquiry case, then it is transferred to a random player and a random card they hold is transferred to you." "(Administrative) This card grants you two votes on any election for an office for which you are a candidate, then is discarded. At the time the election ends, if you hold five or less cards, those votes are counted as AGAINST." "(Legislative) This card allows you to make N proposals distributable, where N is the number of valid votes you cast on the most recently resolved officer eleciton. This card is discarded after use." Ignore wording for the above (obviously effects like these would need to be fine-tuned) - evaluate for the overall concept. BobTHJ
