Prior to lifting up:
scoring: 6+10+10=26vp
gain Lacquer, 4 coins, 1 steel.
I am going to visit the Academy. Promote my Leather.
Polish my leather.
Everyone gets another polish.
next up is @shiberson (along with 2 polish)
Polish steel
For my free polish, leather.
I’ll polish one steel and one leather on C3, and then work row C of my forge for my turn.
Hopefully you meant, to work row 3 of your forge?
Work column B
Edit
And deliver completed sword
Ugh sorry, mistyped. I meant row 3, yes.
Hire a monk to work on Column B of my forge.
For my free work, advance the sword on Column D.
In effect, everything slides one space to the right.
I will work my forge. Column B.
I’ll send a worker to shogun’s palace. I’ll get 2 gold, buy 1 leather, and work B2 of my forge.
In response to @shiberson’s move, for my free palace action, I will advance my sword at E3.
For my free action I’ll advance my sword in A
and I will work my sword at C2.
