This is extremely unlikely. How unlikely? Without loss of generality, assume the hardware store is in column 1. Then you would need all of the following:* Brickworks to be in column 1 (Probability 9/26 if playing a 3 player game)
* Business office to be in column 1 (Probability 8/25)
* Dunny to be, almost certainly, the first or second special building, as the Hardware store tends to be built pretty early (probability 2/12, assuming you're playing with just the Essen cards)
* Column 1 to have the highest numbered top card when Dunny comes out (probability 1/3)
9/26*8/25*2/12*1/3 = 2/325 ~= 0.6% chance
If it does happen, I'd argue you're stuck until someone buys the Dunny or the town builds it, with the latter being much more likely for the reasons you mentioned. 3 rounds without brick isn't the end of the world...it slows things down, but it's an equal handicap for everyone.
