# Phase 5 - Market

Each [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) chooses the [material resource](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md) that he wants to exchange, and indicates which [resource](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md), and for how much of the selected [material resource](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md), he wants to exchange.

[Players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) don't know who and what [resource](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md) wants to exchange and at what price.

[Players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) can choose not to exchange [resources](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md). \
After all, [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) have made their selections and set prices, all offers are opened at the same time. Those [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) who have the same choice of [resource](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md) and the price for the resource make an exchange. \
If there are several [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) who have the same choice, then the [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) who will make the exchange are selected using [RSP-tokens](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/rsp-tokens.md). \
Players who did not match the choice, or who lost as a result of the RSP, do not participate in the exchange.

After that, each [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) chooses to: acquire an [action card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/action-cards.md) for three different [material resources](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md), or not acquire an [action card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/action-cards.md). \
If the [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) does not have three different [resources](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md), she-he chooses not to acquire an [action card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/action-cards.md).

After that, [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) who choose to purchase an [action card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/action-cards.md) randomly receive an [action card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/action-cards.md) from the deck, and forfeit three different [material resources](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md). \
[Players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) who choose not to acquire an [action card](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/action-cards.md) gain nothing and lose nothing.

This concludes *phase 5*.

The [turn](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn.md) also ends. The next [turn](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn.md) starts with [phase 1](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn/phase-1-event.md).
