At setup six Trust houses go on the 10 spaces of six adjacent cities, which stay unavailable in Step 1. After that, every time a player connects a new empty city, a Trust house goes on its 15 space until the Trust runs out, so those cities close for Step 2. The Trust does not trigger Step 2 or the game end.
