  2. General Changes​

    1. Sewer Cards now combined into a SINGLE DECK rather than split into 3 parts.

    2. Reworked Round/Turn Structure:​

      1. At the start of each Round, all players simultaneously take their Income from The Pot.

      2. Then, the first player begins their Turn, followed by the player on their left in a clockwise manner.

      3. In each Turn, a player gets to take up to 3 Actions.

      4. Possible Actions (in any order and quantity):

        1. Buy 1 Cheese​ from The Sewer

        2. Buy 1 Card from The Sewer

        3. Use 1 Red Card (including Flushing The Sewer)

        4. Sell 1 Grey Card (Bundle)

  5. Red Cards

    1. Red Cards re-conceptualised as Opportunities, rather than hiring the Mafia to do jobs for you. This means that it incorporates a wider spectrum of Actions, and moves away from being purely detrimental for other players to include other neutral or beneficial opportunities.
