For my turn, I will send a worker to the academy. If the rules permit it, I will use both of my cards to advance my wood decorator 2 spaces before doing anything else, and then pay 1 gold each to put the permanent benefit at the end of row 4. I will then advance the steel decorator one space (so wood and steel should each be on the space that gives me 2 gold per polish). then I will decorate one wood, one steel, and one lacquer.
Actually, I should have said if you wish to. Because perhaps on the players turn he was going to polish with promoted ones. So I no longer decide for others. Let us know if you will polish.
I guess I will use my card to double my 6-point sword to 12 points, then spend 3 money to tuck it under row 3.
Then I’ll turn in that 12 point sword, earning 1 wood, 1 steel, 1 money for the column, and 2 money for the row.
That should free up 1 worker for the sword, and 1 more worker for the Shogun’s favor.
Then I will commit a worker to Row 3 of my forge and work on both swords.
I will use my card to double sword points. Pay 3 for permanent side and tuck under Row 1.
Turn in sword at D4. Gain 4 coin, 1 leather, 1 wood. Free worker. Turn in banner for a green.
Score 18. For my regular turn I will visit the market. And purchase 3 stone, 1 wood for 7 coin. I will take card B. Also turn in my market card for a free leather. No permanent use.
