Peers are on their feet and every amendment that reaches the Bill gets agreed. Stand in the way, rebut the nonsense and concede wisely.

Report Stage is where peers get another chance to amend a Bill before it moves on. In this game you are the Minister on the floor of the Lords, and the amendments come flying in from both sides of the chamber.
Some amendments are serious and worth conceding to keep the House onside. Some are silly (an AI kill switch, GTA 6 in scope, a firewall around the Bar). Some are wrecking amendments that would gut the Bill. Tell them apart fast, because anything that reaches the Bill gets agreed.
Survive six groups of amendments and the divisions that follow. Keep the Bill's integrity up and the goodwill of the House high, and the Bill clears Report Stage.
| WASD / arrows | Move the Minister. Touching an amendment blocks it. |
| Space | Rebuttal blast. Blocks every amendment nearby. |
| E | Concede the nearest amendment. You get 3 concessions per group. |
| P / M | Pause / mute |
| Serious | Concede for big goodwill, or block at a goodwill cost. |
| Silly | Block for points. Never concede. |
| Wrecking | Fast and brutal. Block at all costs. |
