Is this a reusable game?
As a legacy game, it features permanent changes to components that make it a unique, one-time campaign experience for a group.

Do I need previous experience with board games to play?
While the rules are straightforward, the game's complexity stems from the social interactions and narrative weight, making it better suited for those who enjoy strategy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game involves organizing the legacy components and familiarizing yourself with the Dilemma deck structure. Ensure you have a stable group of 3 to 5 players before starting, as the game is balanced for this specific count. Because the game involves permanent changes to components—such as stickers on the board or tracking sheets—keep all materials in the box organized between sessions to prevent loss. The game is intended for ages 14 and up due to the complexity of the political themes and reading requirements. Store the game in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cards and legacy stickers.
