Strategy Card, Leadership

1. THE LEADERSHIP STRATEGY

Primary Ability

Immediately receive 3 Command Counters from your reinforcements. You may then use the card’s secondary ability.

Secondary Ability

You may purchase a maximum of 3 Command Counters with a cost of 2 Influence each.

The Leadership Strategy provides two important strategic advantages. First, it allows the player to go first during the round, which can be crucial. Second, the Leadership Strategy Card provides the Active player with 3 Command Counters, which are always vitally important.

This Strategy Card also allows the active player to use the card’s secondary ability (which is normally prohibited). This can potentially allow a player to receive 6 Command Counters (3 for free and he may purchase up to 3 more).

The secondary ability of the Leadership Strategy is the most common way for other players to accumulate more Command Counters.

IMPORTANT SPECIAL RULE FOR LEADERSHIP STRATEGY:

Unlike most other Strategy Cards, players do not need to spend a Command Counter from their Strategy Allocation pool in order to execute this secondary Ability.
