Rulings
- Erratum: Renamed from Market Place. [MRP, Lotus Edition, 31 October 2005] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 83
- Q: Island Wharfs say they count as Ports. Does that mean they produce one extra gold per Marketplace, and one less per Black Market? A: No and yes, respectively. Island Wharfs have the Port trait but no other text in common with the card titled "Port". Any other card that affects or is affected by Ports, like a Black Market, works the same with Island Wharfs. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.6.2, May 1998, p. 14
- Erratum: Reads, "Marketplace 2G Market Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold, or 3 Gold if you are a Crane Clan player." [MRP, Celestial Edition, 29 June 2009] Comprehensive Rules, Celestial Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, February 2012, p. 144

Rules Q&A
- Q: 1) I am playing Shiro Ide, my opponent is playing Kosaten Shiro. If I were to take control of a Marketplace (that cost 1 for them), would it produce 1 additional Gold when bowed for a Cavalry card?
A: Shiro Ide checks the current Gold cost of the Holding. It would get Shiro Ide's bonus production. Jeff Alexander, "post for 3 March 2003", 4 Mar 2003
