A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Just a quick question:

Could I elect to play building contract, not pay the gold, and simply have the holding I selected be discarded?

Cheers!

If you pay 0 gold for Building Contract, you must select a 0G holding from your deck. You cannot pay an amount of gold different than a holding's cost, select that holding, and discard it.
