One thing I've never been quite clear on, and the Almanac doesn't really explain it very well...

Can a player building outside of his turn declare victory during the Special Building Phase?

I can't find anything in the rules or on any websites that says you *can't* declare victory.

This seems a little unfair to the player who's currently taking his turn, but on the other hand, not allowing a player to immediately declare victory I think adds a level of complication and frustration to the game that probably shouldn't be there. Also, since it's almost impossible to actually take victory points away from a player, it doesn't make much sense to play out a few meaningless turns until the winner comes up.
