3 (Wood/Stone) to gain 1 marble

Workhouse actions

Players can either hire an apprentice or draw from the building deck

Draw from the building deck, plus an additional card for every 2 workers here

Tax Stand actions

Players can lose 1 Virtue at the tax stand to take all the coins there (coins paid as tax)

Guildhall actions

Players can spend a worker to build a building, or build an available stage of the Cathedral.

To build a building, pay its cost (ensuring you have symbols needed on apprentices) and gain any immediate benefit

To build an available Cathedral stage, pay the corresponding resources and an unused building card, gaining the next bonus card (or just 1 virtue)

Workers spent in either way go in a row to the left of the cathedral.

Town Center actions

Players can capture a player's workers from a specific location paying 1 tax. If the player has have multiple workers in the Town Center, they can capture multiple players' workers in that location, paying 1 coin per set of workers, but still only a tax of 1 coin overall. (in a 2 or 3 player game, each group can be from a different location.)

Captured workers go on your player board, and may be turned in or retrieved at the guardhouse. (Note if you capture your own workers, they go back to your supply)
