[Turn 8] Protest places a cube in Senate Chamber 4, unlocking that sweet decree economy—now discards = coins ×2. 4. [Turns 11–14] Sam builds “Press” → “Clay Pit” → picks the Roman Mythology token and places it. Protest responds with Stone Reserve, leveraging that Chamber 4 bonus. ________________________________________ 💰 Economic Surge & Early Point Play (Turn 15–21) 5. [Turns 15, 17, 20] Protest discards three buildings, each netting 5 coins thanks to Chamber 4. That’s an early 15-coin windfall—he’s flush. 6.

He’s quietly building, while Protest’s econ is on a tear. ________________________________________ 🏛️ Senate Conflict & The First Strike (Turn 22–26) 8. [Turn 23] Protest takes Senate Chamber 2, triggers a Decree, and even pushes the Conflict pawn one step—targeting Sam’s capital. Bold move. 9.
