Bootlegger rules
- If a Poppygrower is in play, the Widow chooses a character to poison. When the Poppygrower dies, the Widow sees the grim, and if no player was chosen, the Widow chooses again.
- If a vote ties a previous majority with an active Organ Grinder, the Storyteller decides who is on the block between both players.
- If a Vigormortis ability is active, any minions killed by a Vigormortis have their abilities.
