With this card, you can extort protection money from other players. This prevents your fellow players from losing their dignitary and their victory conditions.

How to play this card: If the ‘pariah’ plays this card, the affected player must pay the pariah 15 capital times the active cycle. They may pay this at any time until the next phase III. If the protection money is not paid, the affected player loses one victory condition and their dignitary in Phase III. If the card was played by every player except the pariah, the player and the pariah share the protection money. If the player does not pay, they lose two victory conditions and their dignitary.
