− | '''Split piles''' are [[Kingdom card]] piles containing multiple differently named cards, in a particular order. | + | '''Split piles''' are [[Kingdom card]] piles containing multiple differently named cards, in a particular order. Typically, the cards in a split pile have some particular [[synergy]] with each other. Split piles were introduced in [[Empires]] and revisited in [[Allies]]. In Empires, the cards on top of the pile had to be gained or trashed before the cards on the bottom would be available; but Allies introduced the mechanism of [[rotate|rotating]] a split pile, allowing the top cards to be moved to the bottom of the pile to make the next cards accessible. |
[[Dark Ages]] featured [[Knights]] and [[Ruins]], a precursor to split piles; these supply piles contain multiple differently-named cards, but they are shuffled at the start of the game rather than appearing in a prescribed order. | [[Dark Ages]] featured [[Knights]] and [[Ruins]], a precursor to split piles; these supply piles contain multiple differently-named cards, but they are shuffled at the start of the game rather than appearing in a prescribed order. | ||
− | The cards in a split pile usually have different [[cost]]s and may belong to different [[card type]]s. When an effect depends on the cost or types ''of a pile'', rather than of an individual card, the information listed on a split pile's [[randomizer]] card determine what the cost and types of the pile as a whole are considered to be. For instance, the {{card|Gladiator}}/{{card|Fortune}} pile is labeled a {{cost|3}} [[Action]] pile, and therefore may be designated the Bane pile for {{card|Young Witch}} and have various [[Adventures token]]s placed on it, even though {{card|Fortune}} is not an Action and costs more than {{cost|3}} | + | The cards in a split pile usually have different [[cost]]s and may belong to different [[card type]]s.

I did the split piles because they were fun. They are for sure complex; even with lots of simple cards in them, you have to read four cards and think about them as a whole in order to play well with a pile. It's a lot to ask new players. The set does have lots of regular cards that are great for new players though. | I did the split piles because they were fun.
