She chooses to end thearmyʼs movement in Tamba, even though it could move onemore province this phase.To calculate your income, add up the province cardsin your pile, and divide by 3. Drop any remainder.The result equals the number of koku you collect. Forexample, if you own 26 provinces, divide by 3, andround the result (8 2/3) down to 8. This means youcollect 8 koku.Take the number of koku you earned from the mastertray and place them in front of you.Minimum Koku: No player can ever collect less thanthree koku.
