Choose one of the three visitors now in front of your table and look at its symbol hidden underneath. There are 3 types of visitors: magical object buyers, a crazy buyer that will buy the first object you show them, or a buddy who allows you to visit an opponent’s table and offer to buy one of their magical objects that you don’t have but a prospective visitor might want. Take the action associated with the visitor. Play continues with the next player in similar fashion.
