Amend Rule 2627 (The General Store) by replacing:
   a list of 6 or more rules-defined card types
with:
   a list of 4 or more rules-defined card types with at least
   two of the types being different

Title: Card clarifications

Author: Jason
Co-authors:


Amend Rule 2624 as follows:

   - Replace "The type of card with the fewest existing instances" with
 "The single type of card with the fewest existing instances (if any)"

   - Replace all instances of "the card's associated ministry" with "a
 ministry associated with the card".

[Right now the text assumes that each type of card has only a single
associated ministry, but this is not true because of the recent change
for the Ministry of Economy. There's also ambiguity with what happens if
multiple types of card are tied for fewest instances.]

AGAINST. A number of bugs have been pointed out. I wish we'd found out
about them earlier, but we're here now, so...

On behalf of Telnaior: Telnaior votes to ENDORSE me on each decision I

PRESENT; I'm a little confused by the wording. Does this mean they can 
only be granted 2 coins period, or only 2 by each player?

It's not clear what period of time "if nobody granted em any coins via
this rule" is referring to. For example, this could be interpreted to
mean only the first attempt to grant 2 Coins during the following 7 days
works, or this paragraph only applies if the player has never recieved
any grants under this rule at all.

Also (assuming it's been fixed so it works as apparently intended) it
means if I notice someone's birthday at the last minute, it's kinder for
me to wait and grant 2 coins instead of granting 3 right away. Seems
like a strange incentive.

How about instead saying every time someone has a birthday, each other
player can once grant em Coins by announcement, and (if you want to keep
this part) it's 3 coins if it's on the day itself, otherwise 2.
