It happens ''again'' in DK's Stone Statue, with the added bonus that they have to change capture cards, followed by ''more'' fiddling to get the colors to work out.

*** A third shop-based blunder from Masae, this time at Alefgard. She has a monopoly, but hasn't bothered upgrading the smallest shop. [[spoiler:Jon snipes it, then goes on to deny her the first guest win when another Jon shop bankrupts Emile. And then the game itself rubs salt on the wound by advising exactly what she ''didn't'' do leading to her loss. And then Tom succeeds at winning a board.]]
