The Buildings

For all buildings:

  • Each player may build each building only once.
  • When at least one colonist is in the building, it is considered occupied. Only occupied buildings have any value (exception: victory points).
  • Where a building is placed in the city has no bearing on the game. A building is placed on an empty city space. A large building requires two adjacent city spaces. A building may be moved within the city to make room for a large building. However, as with the plantation and quarry tiles on the island, a player may not remove a building from his city (to, for example, make room for another building or prolong the game).
  • The red-brown number in the upper right corner of each building indicates how many victory points the building is worth (occupied or unoccupied) at the end of the game.
  • The number in the first circle is the cost to build the building. Once built, the building cost has no further role in the game.
 A player may build only one of each building.

Only occupied buildings have any value.
