Projects
Projects are the main way Good pushes toward the Public Spending target. They are also how Bad earns kickbacks into the Corruption Fund.
Project Card
Each Year the President picks between two project cards (one small, one large). Each card has:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Project name | Flavor only |
| Project cost | Pulled from the Kaban ng Bayan if the project succeeds. Also the amount added to Public Spending if a Good Politician sat on the committee (regardless of vote). |
| Kickback | Fixed amount added to the Corruption Fund if a Corrupt Politician sat on the committee (regardless of vote). |
| Required committee size | Odd number: 1, 3, 5, or 7 |
Cost = Value
Project cost and project value are the same number. If a project costs 4, the team can earn 4 points of Public Spending. There is no separate value field.
Small vs Large
| Small Project | Large Project | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost or Value | Lower (2 to 3) | Higher (4 to 6) |
| Kickback on card | 1 to 2 | 3 to 5 |
| Committee size | Smaller (1 to 3) | Larger (5 to 7) |
| Corruption opportunity | Less | More. Bigger pool for Corrupt to hide in |

Reading the card
Cost or Value is the same number. It is pulled from the Kaban ng Bayan on success and is added to Public Spending if a Good Politician sat on the committee (regardless of vote). The Kickback column is the bonus added to the Corruption Fund if a Corrupt Politician sat on the committee (regardless of vote) when the project succeeds.
Committee Selection
- The President picks 1, 3, 5, or 7 members (odd numbers only).
- Only active players (not suspended, not removed) may be picked.
- The President may include themselves.
Committee Vote
Each chosen committee member casts a secret vote of Support or Oppose.
- Majority Support (more than half) means the project succeeds.
- Tie or majority Oppose means the project fails.
| Committee size | Votes needed to succeed |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 7 | 4 |
Resolution
Success:
- The moderator pulls the project cost from the Kaban ng Bayan privately.
- If a Good Politician was on the committee (regardless of vote), Public Spending goes up by the project cost.
- If a Corrupt Politician was on the committee (regardless of vote), the kickback printed on the card is added to the Corruption Fund. The COA report is flagged
Kickback: Yes. - Announce: "The project succeeds."
Failure:
- Nothing changes.
- The COA report is saved as
Kickback: No. - Announce: "The project has failed."
Information Signals
The COA receives a per-Year report for the previous project with just the project name and the kickback flag (Yes / No). Individual committee votes are not in the audit.
What that means in play:
- A
Kickback: Yesflag tells the table at least one Corrupt was on the committee the President picked last Year. The committee composition is public, so suspicion lands on those names. - The COA cannot prove who voted Support or Oppose. Reasoning about that is open table inference, not data.
- Suhol can silence the COA for one Discussion, but the flag itself stays accurate.
The full flow of "President chooses, committee votes, project resolves" is spelled out in Moderator Reference.
