How to play
Each legislator has hidden positions on the bill's provisions. Spend a limited budget of meetings to probe and reveal their true preferences, then add or remove provisions to flip enough members to yea. Keep your starred ideal provisions in the bill for a scoring bonus, then call the vote.
Click a provision to add it to or remove it from the bill
Select a legislator and probe to reveal one true position (costs a meeting)

Tips & strategy
Probe swing legislators first, knowing their stance on one provision often unlocks their whole vote
Dropping a divisive provision can win several votes at once, but watch which ideals you sacrifice
Meetings are scarce; deduce as much as you can from each reveal before spending another
