- Pass the Master Builder marker.

2. The new Master Builder rearranges the rooms in the market in any way they like.

3. Other players may each buy one room, paying the Master Builder. The room must be placed immediately in a legal position in the player's castle

- A player may buy a stairs or hallway from the supply instead of buying a room. The cost is always 3000 and is still paid to the Master Builder.
