Category:Starting Establishments

A Starting Establishment is a type of card in Machi Koro that is provided to each player at the start of the game. These ensure that there is some means of obtaining income even at the start of the game.

The base game's starting establishments are:


 * Wheat Field (1 per player)
 * Bakery (1 per player)

The starting establishments have the same effect as their buildable counterparts, but are visually distinguished by the lack of a cost icon on the card. These starting establishments can still be transferred to other players via the Business Center or the Moving Company.

The Harbor Expansion then adds the City Hall as another starting establishment (also adding 1 more copy of the existing starting establishments). This is a Landmark that cannot be destroyed by the Demolition Company and does not count to any cards that have a Landmark related requirement.
