Rotation Cycler

The Rotation Cycler determines the order of Strategy Card selection (i.e. clockwise or anti-clockwise) and activation of SC secondary abilities.

After the Speaker has first selected a Strategy Card, the selection process proceeds in the rotation order from the Speaker. Each player selects one of the remaining Strategy Cards.

Before the first Strategy Phase, the Speaker determines the direction of rotation. From then on, the cycler can be “flipped” with the primary ability of the Bureaucracy Strategy Card during the Action Phase. The Rotation Cycler also determines the order in which the secondary abilities of Strategy Cards are executed. Note that being farther from the Speaker (in the direction of Rotation) gives a player an increasingly limited choice of Strategy Cards (i.e., if Rotation is clockwise, the player to the immediate right of the Speaker will have the least number of cards to choose from).
