# Governance at the Threshold

Create legitimate rules for a transformative capability before one faction captures it.

- Players: 3–8
- Duration: 55–120 minutes
- Mode: negotiated institution design
- Resources: trust, agency, stability, secrecy

## Setup

```json
[
  {
    "op": "draw",
    "count": 1,
    "from": {
      "classes": [
        "technologies",
        "artifacts"
      ]
    },
    "to": "breakthrough"
  },
  {
    "op": "draw",
    "count": 4,
    "from": {
      "classes": [
        "factions"
      ]
    },
    "to": "stakeholders"
  },
  {
    "op": "draw",
    "count": 2,
    "from": {
      "classes": [
        "systems",
        "forces"
      ]
    },
    "to": "constraints"
  }
]
```

## Turn Actions

### Propose Rule

- `place` {"op":"place","card":"rule","zone":"charter"}
- `vote` {"op":"vote","question":"adopt-rule","threshold":"majority"}

### Add Minority Protection

- `tag` {"op":"tag","target":"charter-rule","tag":"minority-protection"}
- `gain` {"op":"gain","resource":"stability","amount":1}

### Audit Power

- `reveal` {"op":"reveal","target":"stakeholder-interest","count":1}
- `cite-source` {"op":"cite-source","card":"constraint","claim":"risk"}

### Add Sunset Clause

- `tag` {"op":"tag","target":"charter-rule","tag":"sunset"}
- `gain` {"op":"gain","resource":"trust","amount":1}

## Resolution

- **Win:** A five-rule charter passes with audit, minority protection, review, and sunset provisions.
- **Loss:** One stakeholder controls three rules or collective Trust reaches zero.
