Alterations to the original game

• Minor image alterations and editing.
• Veto power is slightly adjusted so that chancellors need to select a policy prior to saying yes or no to vetoing that policy.
• Adapted the rules webpage slightly to account for online vs physical play.
• There is an option when players make a game to "rebalance" the 6, 7 and 9 player games - 6p starts with a fascist policy already enacted, 7p starts with one less fascist policy in the deck, 9p starts with 2 less fascist policies. Players (and results from analyzing statistics) have noted that these game modes are the worst balanced and not fun to play with the original ruleset.
