That sounds like a reasonable change, yeah! Although then I wonder what would be left in the government deck, since that's overwhelmingly cabinet position cards with a few others like Prussian bulwark mixed in.
I dunno. I recognize there are trade-offs, and that the randomness is an important and intended part of the game. I honestly didn't expect my feedback to be noticed, much less accepted. At the end of the day, it's your project. Whatever you think is best probably will be.
