I've been playing solely as the SRs, and I think I keep running into bugs.
First is the first month. If I use an advisor on week 1, it often skips playing any other cards. If I skip using an advisor, it often skips week 3's plays.
Second is taking seats in the government. I used to be able to take Agriculture and War, but now I can only take one or the other, and most, if not all, other options end up greyed out.
