Example 5: Special Building Phase in action.

Cathy has just finished her turn. Before she passes the dice to the player on her left, she asks her opponents whether someone wants to perform a special build. If only one player says “yes,” that player may build immediately. If more than one player says “yes,” their builds must be performed in normal clockwise order. Once all of the special builds are complete, Cathy passes the dice to the player on her left. That player now begins his or her normal turn.
