Acquire - Corner Cases

Corner Cases

These conditions can be used to handle unusual situations.

  1. Replacing permanently unplayable tiles - Per 1999 rules, players can replace permanently unplayable tile (tiles that would merge safe corporations) at the end of their turn. You may continue to replace unplayable tiles (including new unplayable tiles that you draw) until you have six playable tiles or the tile stock is empty.
  2. No playable tiles - Per 2008 rules, a player that has no legal plays because all 6 tiles in his or her hand are unplayable may reveal his or her hand, set aside his or her unplayable tiles, and draw six new tiles at the beginning of his or her turn. Tiles set aside are discarded from the game.
  3. Bank doesn't have enough shares to allow everyone to trade in their shares - first choice falls to person causing the merger, followed by other players in order around the table in the order of play.

Famous quotes containing the words corner and/or cases:

    “Something is sticking out its tongue at me from the corner of my mirror.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “For the most part, we are not where we are, but in a false position. Through an infirmity of our natures, we suppose a case, and put ourselves into it, and hence are in two cases at the same time, and it is doubly difficult to get out.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
