Agenda

Agendas are a complex card type that directly help advance the player’s Narrative Score.

Note Funding Cost
Agendas cost 4F to deploy.

An Agenda card enters play in its controller's Think Tank area.

A player can have only one Agenda in play at once.

If their active Agenda is dismantled, that player may deploy another one.

Once per game, a player may use a Think Tank action called Pivot to exchange an Agenda in play with an Agenda in their Hand at no Funding cost.

This expends the Seated Figurehead’s end-of-turn action (cannot Proselytize or Fundraise that turn).

Agenda Cards’ Passive Ability: Advance Narrative §

Agenda cards directly help the player win the game, and as such can be considered a win condition (along with Figureheads and any Creatures who can Discredit).

Advance Narrative

If you control an Agenda card at the end of your turn, you may have that card Proselytize at no cost.

Given that all Agenda cards cost 4F to deploy, the no-cost Proselytize is basically wrapped in the Funding cost for the card. Most Agenda cards have additional effects when in play.

Note

I’m not sure whether players can ALSO Proselytize with their Seated FIgurehead that turn (for +2 Narrative Score in same turn). That could mean that players conceivably could win from starting their turn at 3 Narrative out of 5. Remains to be seen with playtesting what’s the better option. For now they can. Why not.

Ways to Destroy an Opposing Agenda §

Using Creatures §

The opponent’s Active Zone must be empty of Creatures to target their Agenda.

An Agenda may be sent to history with a single Discredit attack from the following Creatures:

• Any Creatures with INT 8 or higher
• Any Creatures of the subtypes

• Figurehead
• Revolutionary
• Bad Actor
• Double Agent

• Any other Creatures whose rules text or unique abilities state they may target Agendas.

Using Plot Twists §

(as of now in the ruleset) All Plot Twist cards clear the board of any Agendas and Tactics currently in play.

Repercussions of Losing an Agenda §

Discredit Only §

An Agenda in play dismantled by a Discredit attack results in -1 Narrative Score for the player who controlled the Agenda card.

Agendas lost due to Paradigm Shifts do not suffer this penalty.
