No, I mean that when you receive the box, you pick one rule from the
"active list", and conduct a trade based on that rule. Then you cross out
that rule, and add a new rule to the end of the list.
So if you picked a rule "take slopes, and replace with tiles to equal twice
the studdage", you could take as many slopes as you wanted, but you'd have
to put in enough tiles to equal twice the square footage of the slopes.

What's the antecedent for "that"? What I wrote, "3. Write rules ... huge
value-adds." would be a guideline for writing rules. A rule for "trade 2x2
rounds 1-for-1 with train windows" would be an example of a rule which
violates the guideline.
