Moderator Reference

A simple guide for the admin running the table.

Trackers at a Glance

Tracker	Public or Private	Notes
Public Spending	Good only	Goes up when a Good Politician sat on a winning committee (regardless of vote)
Corruption Fund	Bad only (private)	Theft + kickbacks. Suhol and Tokhang spend from this
Kaban ng Bayan	Public	Drops from theft and project cost. Refilled by yearly revenue
Strike counter	Public	0, 1, or 2 per player
President term	Public	2 Years. Auto ends after the second Year

Setup

1. Everyone joins the room. The admin device runs the table and never holds a role.
2. Tell players to read their role on their own screen.
3. Trackers start at zero. Kaban ng Bayan starts at the player count.
4. Run role recognition: each role opens eyes when called, then closes. Corrupt open eyes together to see each other.

Targets by Player Count

Players	Public Spending Target	Corruption Fund Target
13	24	20
14	26	22
15	28	23
16	30	25

Year 1 Script

Year 1 has no audit yet and no last Year drop to announce. Everything else runs the same way as later Years.

Year 1 Night Phase

Everyone, close your eyes.

Lawyer, open your eyes.
Point at one player to Protect this Year.
Protect blocks both jailing and Tokhang on that player.
Lawyer, close your eyes.

Ombudsperson, open your eyes.
Point at one player to investigate.
[I show you Good aligned or Bad aligned on a card.]
Ombudsperson, close your eyes.

Good Politicians, open your eyes.
Do you want to use Auto Jail?
Cost is half the Public Spending target.
This directly jails the target — no table vote is held.
Signal yes or no silently.
Good Politicians, close your eyes.

Corrupt Politicians, open your eyes.
Do you all agree to steal this Year? The vote must be unanimous.
Signal yes or no silently.
Do you want to use Suhol? Cost is 3 from the Corruption Fund. The COA will be silenced for one Discussion.
Do you want to use Tokhang? Cost is half the Corruption Fund target. You may remove a player from the game.
Corrupt Politicians, close your eyes.

COA, open your eyes.
No project last year. There is nothing to audit yet.
COA, close your eyes.

Everyone, open your eyes. We begin the Day Phase.

After eyes open, log in private:

• If Corrupt agreed to steal, add the steal amount (= free Corrupt count) to the Corruption Fund and pull from the Kaban ng Bayan.
• If Suhol was used, pull 3 from the Corruption Fund and mark the COA as silenced this Year. Suhol also refunds the Year's steal (up to 3) back to the Kaban ng Bayan.
• If Tokhang was used, pull the cost from the Corruption Fund and remove the target unless the Lawyer Protected them this Year.
• If Auto Jail was used, pull the cost from Public Spending and apply a strike to the target immediately (Lawyer Protect blocks).

Year 1 Day Phase

There is no treasury report yet. This is the first Year.

We will now elect a President.
The President serves for 2 Years.
The President cannot be jailed while in office.
The President's vote in the jail vote counts as 2.
The President picks the project and the committee.
Please vote for your candidate.

[Announce the winner.]
[Name] is President through Year 2.

All active players, please pay 1 in revenue to the Kaban ng Bayan.
Suspended and removed players pay nothing.

President, here are your two project cards. One small, one large. Choose one.
President, choose your committee. The committee size is on the card.

Committee members, cast your secret vote. Support or Oppose.

[Tally the votes.]
The project [succeeds / fails].

You may now discuss.
[The Ombudsperson may share what they learned this Year. It is normal table talk. They can hint or fully reveal. There is no special vote.]

After Discussion, run the jail vote:

We will now hold the jail vote.
Active players who are not suspended may vote.
The President's vote counts as 2. Majority wins.

[Tally the votes. Apply Lawyer Protect first.]

Then read the right line from the Jail Outcomes table.

End the Year:

• Save the audit for the COA: kickback yes or no.
• Save the treasury drop = theft + project cost (if it succeeded).
• Run the Win check.

Project Resolution Cheat Sheet

When the committee vote ends:

• Success (majority Support).
  • Pull the project cost from the Kaban ng Bayan privately.
  • If a Good Politician was on the committee (regardless of vote), raise Public Spending by the cost.
  • If a Corrupt Politician was on the committee (regardless of vote), add the kickback to the Corruption Fund and flag next Year's audit Kickback: Yes.
  • Say: "The project succeeds."
• Failure (tie or majority Oppose).
  • Nothing changes.
  • Save the audit as Kickback: No.
  • Say: "The project has failed."
