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:

    “Perfect alchemists I keep who can transmute substances without end, and thus the corner of my garden is an inexhaustible treasure-chest. Here you can dig, not gold, but the value which gold merely represents; and there is no Signor Blitz about it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
