What are the two and three player rules?
For three players, you remove the “Club” nation from the game and play with only the three other nations. After the auction, the two non-winning auctioners play to prevent the winner from completing his political votes. As there’s no partner, no hand is laid down. The two player game is the same as for three players, except that the minimum bid starts at “3/Clubs ascendant” in the advanced version (remove all 1 and 2 level contracts from the contract deck in the basic version). When it is time for the third player to play a political leader, turn over leaders from the third player’s hand until a legal card is revealed. If the third player has no legal leaders to play, the first card that was turned up is played.
