All players compare their hands using their own Poker Card and the two cards adjacent to the Town Hall Mat. Note: Poker Card modifications done at the Sheriff's Office apply when resolving the hand at the Town Hall unless there is a tie (see Third Posse Benefit).

This will decide two things:

• The order in which players buy Building Cards.

• Which player will advance an Industry Token.

Buying a Building Card

Starting with the winning hand, and proceeding in hand order from highest to lowest, each player has the option of buying one Building Card at a location where they MUST have at least 1 Posse Token. Listed on the porch of each Building Card is its cost, and players may pay for the Building Card by reducing the appropriate influence amounts on their Boss Card. A newly bought Building Card is placed underneath the Porch Slot on the Location Mat that matches the player color of the player who bought it. Regardless of when a Building Card is acquired, it does not replace the current Building Card in play until the end of Phase Four.

Stack Buildings at a Porch

Any new cards are placed over top of the previously bought Building Cards, but not covering up victory points and industry icons on the top of the card. Only the newest (top) Building Card in the Porch Slot can be used during Phase Two: Posse Placement.

Sheriff's Office: Buy a "Leftover" Building Card

If a player has a Posse Token at the "Leftover" spot, at the end of the round the player may buy only one of any leftover Building Cards (even if there are multiple cards). They do not need to have a Posse Token on that Building Card's Mat.
