Can I use the Planter action if my Hacienda and Hospital are occupied?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the Planter action even if your Hacienda and Hospital are occupied. The Planter action is available to any player who chooses the Planter role, regardless of occupied buildings. The Hacienda and Hospital provide additional functions during the Planter phase but do not restrict the core action. Planter Action: When you choose the Planter role, you may take an Estate tile from the Main board and place it on your Countryside [p.10 — Planter]. Hacienda Function: If occupied, you gain a random Estate tile from the bag before your standard Planter action. You must place it immediately and cannot discard it [p.20 — Hacienda]. Hospital Function: If occupied, you gain 1 Worker from the supply (or Work Register if unavailable) and must place it on the tile you gained (Estate/Quarry). If you gained two tiles (via Hacienda + Planter), you choose where to place the Worker [p.20 — Hospital]. Watch out: If you use the Hacienda to draw an Estate, you must place it before taking your standard Planter action. The Hospital’s Worker placement is mandatory if you gain an Estate/Quarry, but it does not interfere with the Planter action itself.
