When a player plays a [redacted] card, they must declare the observed color. Giving a piece of information: In order to carry out this action, a player has to take a blue token and place it back into the lid of the box. He can tell one teammate something about the cards held by that teammate. To construct a Building, you must first own a set of adjacent lots matching the shape of that building. A player who cannot or does not wish to produce the required number of food must take a begging card for each missing food. Flip the cards in your play area so that their values are visible, then add all values together to determine your speed.
