At the start of your turn, roll a six-sided die.

If the die lands on 5 or 6, choose any other player. For the remainder of your turn, you can use that player’s special ability (except of course the starting configuration).

If the die lands on 3 or 4, roll again. If it lands on 1 or 2, you can “steal” the ability of the player clockwise from you, as outlined above. If it lands on 3 or 4, you can “steal” the ability of the player across from you. If it lands on 5 or 6, you can “steal” the ability of the player counterclockwise from you. In all cases, you may choose not to “steal” if you don’t want to.

If the die lands on 1 or 2, you have no power this turn.

You may not the abilities of a country with special units (i.e. Sparta or the Carthagian Empire) or one that requires special setup (i.e. Guerillas or the Soviet Union). If the second roll gives you one of these countries, you may roll again.
