Card Text:
"Political Card-Worth 1 Vote.Prince or Justicar calls at +1
stealth.Successful vote means each Methuselah must skip a turn or burn 2
pool. Burn this card when you have either skipped 3 turns or paid 6 pool
in cumulative penalties."
Question:
Is 1st Tradition burned when:
- The "you" in the card text refers to ME, so that, for example, 1st
Trad. is burned when I have skipped 3 turns (so that the card lasts 3
turns at least)?
- The "you" in the card text refers to all methusalahs, so that, for
example in a 4 player game, I play the card, the 3 other Methusalahs pay
the price and the card is burned? Effectively the card lasts 1 turn for
all methusalahs as a whole, but 3 turns for different methusalahs.
In our most recent game, I played the card in the spirit of the former
interpretation, but was voted down by the other players, who preferred
the latter one.

This is correct. "You" always refers to the controller of the card.

This is the correct interpretation. 1st tradition is a great
game staller, and a good card to use if you play a vote/pool
gain deck.
