Playing with the expansion and the Assembly strategy. What happens if someone who has no political cards in hand is called upon to play one? I could not find an answer in either the FAQ or the rulebook. (So far in my limited experience players have rarely if ever considered it worth spending a strat counter to draw one each action and political cards, so it is very easy for one player to get called on more than once and run out.)

The player chosen would pick a card from the top of the Political Deck. I believe this is in the SE rule book in the Strategy Card section under the Assembly card.

Aha... it's not, but it's in the sidebar on the next page. The player we had looking up what would happen read and reread the Assembly instructions but didn't notice the sidebar. Thanks.
