Merchants Cove

You draw Corruption cards during Step 3 of your turn, after performing the action: for each Corruption icon in the action’s cost you draw 1 Corruption card into your supply (p.5).

When you pass an Adventurer indicator you immediately perform Load the Boats: draw 1 Adventurer from the bag and place it into an empty slot on a Sailing Boat (you cannot add to Docked Boats); if you fill the final slot on a Sailing Boat you must immediately Dock it and move its Adventurers to that Pier (pp.5–6).

Sales resolve in order: Bazaar (left, large goods), Grand Plaza (center, small goods), then Black Market (right, both sizes); you may only sell where matching colored Customers are present and Customers are not removed from Piers until the end of the Market Phase, so other players may also sell to them (p.7).

If the Production Phase ends with Sailing boats remaining, all Adventurers on those boats are placed into their matching Faction Halls or into the Lair as appropriate, leaving any empty Pier spaces (p.6).

When you recruit a Townsfolk you immediately activate its Townsfolk ability before paying the Recruit cost, and because those immediate abilities resolve before paying costs you cannot use them to discard Corruption cards gained as part of that same action’s cost (pp.10–11).
