- I like the Focuses idea. - I think you'd really just want to use your Stamps to win rather than anything else. Maybe instead you can only Focus on something if you have the right Stamp or combination of Stamps in your possession? For example, something like: Voting Focus [Requirement: Ownership of 3 or more different Stamps], Justice Focus [Requirement: Ownership of a Stamp type that only up to 2 other players have]; etc
