- 4 province tiles "Shalimar Gardens" (1 per color)
Use in the game
Mix the tiles into the corresponding snake stack.
To acquire one of these tiles, you have to carry out a building action, as usual. The costs for one of these tiles are one die in the color of the tile with any number, plus any other die.
Shalimar Bonus
Each Shalimar tile shows an intersection and allows the player to take back one of his already-placed workers off the game board immediately after the tile has been built. The player can place this worker again on a later turn; that means he gets an extra turn in this round. On a later turn, you can place this worker again on an unoccupied action space on the gameboard. That means you get an extra turn in this round. (The action space – now vacant because the worker has been taken back – may be used again by the players in this round.)
For the Navaratnas variant
If you take an already-placed worker off the gameboard, put him on his back onto your Kali statue board. Place this worker only after you have placed all other workers in the current round.
Before you place the worker you took back, check whether, in this round, you have
a) fewer workers than at least one of the other players (which means that you would actually be allowed to take a yield tile now since you normally wouldn't have a worker left for placement). You first take a yield tile from the supply, as usual. After that, place the worker you took back.
b) the same number or more workers than at least one of the other players. The players concerned do not get a yield tile from the supply when you place the worker you took back, and the other players, just for this very reason, have one turn less.
Concerning the Master Builder
Shalimar Gardens can never be overbuilt. But you can place these tiles on top of any laid-out tile (except for Mango villages and other Shalimar gardens) if you additionally give up one die with any number in the color of the snake tile.
