Instead of playing a card from your hand, you may move 1 Country card from a Debate card or from the Open cards to any Statement or Special Statement card. If you move a Country card from the Open cards, immediately replace it with a new card from the Country deck.
If you move a Country card from a Debate card, put the Debate card back in the box.
Note: This makes Debate cards very valuable and you have to think carefully which Country cards to play onto them.
Note: for a 1-player game: When playing solo, you obviously aren’t able to discuss anything with other players; however, playing cards onto Debate cards may help you save them for later and draw new cards.
Example: History has never been John’s strong suit, but there are still no cards on the Statement card “Was part of the Mongol Empire”. John plays his “Pakistan’’ Country card onto a free Debate card to discuss it with the others. Then he draws a new card from the Country deck and ends his turn.
Example continued: Unlike John, Emily paid full attention during History class, so she knows that Pakistan was part of the Mongol Empire. On her turn, she explains it to the others and moves the “Pakistan” card from the Debate card to the Statement card. Then she returns the Debate card to the box and ends her turn.
