Step 3 - Place the tile
Position the tile orthogonally adjacent to at least one existing tile and adjacent (orthogonally or diagonally) to at least one tile containing a clan member
5
Respect river and road rules
Continue river (North-South) and road (East-West) features from the Start Village; tiles without these features must not block them off; no second river or road may form
6
Handle unplaceable tiles
If you cannot legally place a tile, discard it and move any clan member one space
7
Receive immediate benefits

Step 4 - Activate tiles
Activate the placed tile and all adjacent tiles (orthogonally and diagonally) in any order, each providing its ability exactly once

Use a movement to remove a clan member from your Tableau and place it beside your Tableau; you must always keep at least one clan member on your Tableau
19
Step 5 - Refill the Circuit
Remove any tiles behind the hindmost Chieftain (discarded); fill all empty fields except the one directly behind the hindmost Chieftain with new tiles from the current stack in clockwise order
20
Using the Market
Buy or sell resources at any time during your turn
21
Buying resources
Place coins (1, 2, or 3 as indicated) on the leftmost available field for that resource; may only buy if using resources immediately for placement or activation costs; cannot buy if you have sufficient resources on production tiles
22
Selling resources
Return resources to supply and take the rightmost stack of coins from that resource row
23
