Every card in this gallery passed the tone gate: flavor text and surrogate text checked against the tone guide's good-joke territory. Cards with family, death, illness, body, allegation, or protected-class references are excluded.
All cards have a low risk label in the legal-risk register. Public persona targeting only — no private-life, allegation, or personal-attack content. Unofficial-satire disclaimer included on every public surface.
The only conversion path here is the launch list, so preview traffic stays tied to the first CTA. No preorder or checkout CTAs appear on this gallery.
Public preview is a trust layer, not a checkout surface. The page should feel curated, readable, and visibly separate from internal review content.
Public-persona satire targeting public statements, media presence, and institutional roles. All cards use stylized editorial art (no photos) and public-persona humor only.
Leadership, governors, and nationally recognized figures. All cards target public persona — policy positions, media presence, campaign personas — not private life.
Abstract political situations — no named individuals, no factual allegations. These cards teach the Spin mechanic through pocketbook, media, and campaign scenarios.
The Spin triangle explains the three Spin categories (Outrage, Economy, Security) and their win/loss relationships. Reference cards contain no named individuals.
All 20 Situation cards (SIT001–SIT020) have passed tone review and are cleared for public preview. The 3 previously-held cards — Border Flashpoint, Crime Story Goes National, and Viral Fraud Thread — were reviewed on 2026-05-30 and upgraded from medium to low risk.
The expanded deck gives games real variety: 5 situations are drawn each game from 20 cards, so no two sessions feel the same.
The public gallery, launch page, and social crops all share the same newsroom-inspired tokens, spacing, and disclaimer pattern. Nothing public should invent a new color, font, or layout rule.
