Text

Advances in mind control techniques allow you to play one Propaganda card to full effect, even during wartime. Play from your hand at the same time you flip over the Propaganda card.

Additional Notes and Information:

Propaganda cards are the real drag on the system in the game. Although I appreciate their use to slow down onslaughts, it's possible to get stuck in acquisition hell, wherein you can't ever seem to draw a weapon or a warhead... just propaganda, propaganda, propaganda. This makes one of them, at least, useful. It can be devestating with the 25M propaganda cards, especially late in the game.

Note that if you use MK Ultra to propagandize someone during wartime, and that eliminates the target, he/she does not get Final Retaliation. After all, he/she went out "on a propaganda card". (Also note that MK Ultra is a Special, not a Secret; so the Secrets clause of Final Retaliation is not activated.)

The truly sad and scary thing is, MK Ultra was a real US research program..
