The Reform Window · 3 turns · about 35 minutes

Lebanon 2036The Trust Bargain

The losses already happened. Can you build a settlement anyone will believe?

Three turns inside the narrow opening the book describes as genuinely available: a resolution law enacted with its loss annex suspended, a Gap Law approved in cabinet and stuck, an IMF process restarted, and a FATF action plan running out. You hold one institution. The window closes whether or not you have used it.

Before you start

A free account, because the world is saved to it.

The authoritative state lives on the server, not in your browser — which is what makes a run reproducible, replayable from another institution’s chair, and impossible to edit from the outside. You can stop after one turn and pick it up later, on any device.

  • Conservation is enforced by the engine, not by the referee: a move can recognise, defer, finance, reallocate or disguise a loss, and never delete it.
  • Nine validation gates — authority, sequence, sources and uses, capacity, coalition, operations, distribution, adoption, delayed effects — explain what is missing instead of refusing you.
  • Counterparties are scripted institutions with published red lines, so a player who reads them and takes them seriously can reason a package through.

Google or a magic link. The founding institutions are open to any account and are a complete act in themselves; the counterpart institutions are part of the member programme.
