Renovation

The Renovation mechanic is a gameplay mechanic that was introduced in the Millionaire's Row expansion of Machi Koro.

Description
The Winery can close itself for renovations, or the Renovation Company can close all copies of a non- card type (including the player's own) for renovations.

Whether an establishment is closed for renovations or not is signified by a Renovation Token (or the card/s are put sideways if there are no tokens).

When an establishment is closed for renovations, then the card's effect does not occur when dice roll equals the activation number for that establishment. Instead, the renovation token is removed and the establishment is back in business.

Other establishments whose effect depends on the closed establishments will not be affected by the renovation state (e.g. if the Wheat Field is closed for renovations, then the Fruit and Vegetable Market will still get coins regardless).

Note that if the player decides to build a new copy of an establishment that was closed for renovations, that copy is open.
