Win Conditions
Win conditions are checked at the end of each Year's Public Phase, after the jail vote resolves. If a condition fires mid step, the game ends right away.
Good Wins
Checked in this order:
- Corrupt Purge. Every Corrupt Politician has been removed (jailed twice, or hit by Auto Jail on a second strike).
- Public Spending Threshold. Public Spending reaches or passes the target (24 for 13 players).
Bad Wins
Checked in this order:
- Good Purge. Both Good Politicians have been removed (jailed twice, or hit by Tokhang).
- Corruption Fund Threshold. The Corruption Fund (theft + kickbacks) reaches or passes the target (20 for 13 players). Suhol and Tokhang spend straight out of the fund, so a Year that steals 3 and pays 3 for Suhol nets zero.
Why check order matters
Good is checked first. If a Good and a Bad condition both trigger in the same Year, Good wins.
The Jail Strike System
Every player has a strike counter tracked by the moderator:
| Jails | Status |
|---|---|
| 0 | Active |
| 1 | First strike, served the suspension, now back |
| 2 | Removed from the game |
A player on a first strike who gets jailed again is removed at the moment of jailing. They do not serve a second suspension.
Strategic weight
First strikes are public. The whole table sees who has one. A player on a first strike is a high value target for Bad (frame a Good Politician) and a guarded asset for Good (cover them with the Lawyer).
The Two Races
| Good's race | Bad's race |
|---|---|
| Reach the Public Spending target | Reach the Corruption Fund target (theft + kickbacks) |
| Remove every Corrupt Politician | Remove both Good Politicians |
Both races run in parallel. Each side has paid abilities that trade race progress for direct action:
| Side | Ability | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good | Auto Jail | half the Public Spending target | Force a jail vote on a target |
| Corrupt | Suhol | 3 from the Corruption Fund | Silence the COA for one Discussion |
| Corrupt | Tokhang | half the Corruption Fund target | Remove a player (Lawyer Protect on the target blocks it) |
Corruption Fund Tracker
The moderator tracks the Corruption Fund privately. It is the running total of:
- Every Nakaw (when free Corrupt agree to steal)
- Every kickback earned from a successful project committee
This total is never said out loud. Bad wins when it reaches the target.
