CATAN
Can you pay four cards to the bank for a resource the bank has run out of?
The rulebook does not address an empty supply for bank trades; a Kosmos-affiliated reply and another poster agree the card must be available.

No. A bank trade gives you one card of your choice from the supply, so the resource must actually be there to take. You cannot spend the four cards for a card that is not in the supply.
