Finance
• Speculator (F1): Active player takes as many coins from the Treasury as they have already (5
credits maximum). If the Speculator is successfully challenged, the coins taken from the
Treasury are returned and then the challenger takes all the active player’s coins.
• Banker (F2): Active player takes 3 credits from the Treasury.
• Capitalist (F3): Active player first takes 4 credits from the Treasury. Then any other players

to each surviving Capitalist claimant.
• Farmer (F4): Active player takes 3 credits from the Treasury and must then give 1 credit to
another player of their choice.
• Spy (F5): Active player takes 1 credit from the Treasury and can then take an additional action
of their choice. They cannot take the Intel action again this turn. If a player starts a turn with
10 or more coins, they must take the Coup action and may not claim Spy before doing so. If a
player takes the Intel action and then has 10 coins, they must take the Coup action as their
additional action.
Force
• Guerrilla (F01): Active player pays 4 credits and declares Target. Target loses a life. Target
may claim Guerrilla to avoid losing a life.
• Crime Boss (F02): Active player declares a Target. Target can choose to give the active player
2 credits and the turn ends. If not, the active player must pay 5 credits to the Treasury and
the Target loses a life. The active player must have 5 credits to take this action.
• General (F03): Active player pays 5 credits to the Treasury. All other players become Targets
and lose a life. Target may claim General to avoid losing a life.
• Mercenary (F04): Active player pays 3 credits to the Treasury and declares a Target. Target
places the Disappear token in front of themselves. If the Target still has the Disappear token

Mercenary when they are targeted, or at any time on their next turn to avoid losing a life.
They discard the Disappear token if counteracted.

Special Interest
• Peacekeeper (S11): Active player takes 1 credit from the Treasury and then places the
Peacekeeping token in front of themselves. While the Peacekeeping token is in front of a
player, that player cannot be target. This does not prevent Coup actions nor preclude
challenges.
• Priest (S12): When the active player claims Priest, all other players become Targets and have
to give 1 credit to the active player. Target may claim Priest to avoid giving 1 credit to the
active player.
• Politician (S13): Active player declares Target and takes up to 2 credits from the Target.
Target may claim Politician to avoid giving any coins.
• Communist (S14): Active player takes up to 3 credits from the player with the most coins
(Target) and gives the taken coins to the player with the fewest coins. In the event of a tie for
most of fewest coins, the active player decides who the Target is. Target may claim
Communist to avoid giving any coins.
• Protestor (S15): Active player pays 2 credits to the Treasury and declares Target. Any players
may challenge, if not successfully challenged, then any other player can pay 3 credits to the
Treasury to join the Riot, and the Target loses a life. The player joining the Riot does not have
to claim Protestor. If no other player joins the Riot, the action fails without coins being
returned. After both players have joined the Riot, the Target may claim Protestor to avoid
losing a life.
• Foreign Consular (S16): Active player takes both Treaty tokens, placing one in front of
themselves and one in front of another player. Players with Treaty tokens may not Target
each other unless they are the final two players. This includes Coup actions but does not
preclude challenges.
• Missionary (S17): When a player loses a life for any reason other than a Coup, they may claim
the Missionary if the Deck has at least one card. The card claimed to be the Missionary is put
aside face-down as the lost life and that player takes 1 card from the Deck. If challenged, the
card claimed as the Missionary is revealed. If the card is not the Missionary, the player that
claimed the Missionary loses another life (and does not take 1 card from the Deck) – they may
claim Missionary on the second life lost to avoid being eliminated. If the card is the
Missionary, the challenger loses a life.
• Customs Officer (S18): Active player takes both Tax tokens, placing one in front of themselves
and one on a role card in play. Before any player can claim the role (for either ac action or
counteraction) that has the Tax token on it, they must first give 1 credit to the player with the
Tax token – if they do not have a coin to give, they may not claim that role. If the player that
has the Tax token is eliminated, remove the Tax token from the role card.
• Intellectual (S19): When a player loses a life for any reason, they may claim the Intellectual.
The card claimed to be the Intellectual is put aside face-down as the lost life and that player
takes 5 credits from the Treasury. If challenged, the card claimed as the Intellectual is
revealed. If the card is not the Intellectual, the player that claimed the Intellectual loses
another life (and does not take 5 credits from the Treasury). If the card is the Intellectual, the
challenger loses a life.
• Lawyer (S110): At the end of any turn on which a player is eliminated, any other player may
claim Lawyer and take all the coins from the eliminated player before those coins are
returned to the Treasury. If multiple players claim Lawyer, the coins are divided equally
amongst those players with any excess going to the Treasury.
