  • During the upcoming agenda phase, all abilities stay resolved in speaker order, not initiative order.
  • The strategy cards are readied when Political Stability is played.
  • The “Return Strategy Cards” step is the last step of the status phase. All other steps must be completed by all players before Political Stability may be played. This includes scoring and revealing objectives, drawing action cards (and discarding down to hand limit, if necessary), and gaining and redistributing command tokens.
    • If a player draws Political Stability during the status phase, they may play it during the same phase.
