Gramaje

 The first card I pull in my learning game is this one. That puts the FARC as the first faction to go and then probably will take the unshaded event as the rulebook mentions the left most first faction will always do the event. Talk about getting taxed.

FARC protection rejected: All Cartels Guerrillas in spaces with FARC free Attack FARC.

 Schedule of fees: Cartels transfers 3 Resources to FARC for each space with Cartels Base and FARC   Guerrilla

The FARC had a precise schedule of fees, gramaje, that it charged to drug producers and smugglers for protection and other services. Though imposed by the guerrillas, these taxes served as a US argument that the FARC and the drug lords were in cahoots.

Odd first card here in my game as you see two potential "allies" going at it. Obviously the FARC player will pick an action that does not allow the next faction to play that unshaded event. Part of the mind game of a COIN series is thinking ahead and screwing your opponent over. This card refers to weight or fees that the FARC would impose.
