At the end of their turn, however, only one card is drawn. The player may choose to take one of the face up cards or take the top card from the face down stack. If a face up card is chosen, replace it by drawing the top card from the face down stack and placing it face up. Players must draw a card and may not pass on this step of their turn. However, a player may never hold more than five cards in their hand.
Drawing ends the player's turn.
A player who plays an island card may place one of his bridges on any empty bridge place between this island and an any neighboring island, providing that the player does not already control both islands. A player controls an island if they have occupied an absolute majority of the bridge places on that island with bridges of their color. The controlling player removes all bridges of the opposing player that lie on this island, and marks the island with one of their island stones. An antagonistic bridge may be removed not only by acquiring of the absolute majority on the islands concerned, but also through the playing of a suitable pair of cards. A pair of cards is suitable if both cards depict the islands connected by the bridge.
