This is in fact an important part of the strategy to deny players the resources they need by hoarding them.

<p>At the end of Bureaucracy, what happens if there are not enough available resources to fully resupply a given type? For example, assume the game dictates resupplying 5 Coal but only 3 are available from “the bank” because one player has 2 stored on a plant. </p>

At the end of Bureaucracy, what happens if there are not enough available resources to fully resupply a given type? For example, assume the game dictates resupplying 5 Coal but only 3 are available from “the bank” because one player has 2 stored on a plant.
