About the game
The rules are short and easy to learn. The idea is simply that each time a player has the right to take a reward, they take a Lying Politician Card along with that reward (if they chose to take the reward). This addition to Police Precinct adds significant difficulty, variety, and replayability. The twists and turns of this new expansion are endless! It consists of a deck of poker sized cards, and begins with "Set A" which has 28 playable cards. More sets will be added in the future with the expectation that the total number of cards will eventually exceed 100.
