Editing Treasure

[[Image:Silver.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Silver]], a Treasure card.]]

'''Treasure''' is a [[card type]] that may be played during a player's [[gameplay#buy phase|Buy phase]]. Most Treasures provide some +{{Cost|}}, and some Treasures have other effects as well. Unlike [[Action]] cards, any number of Treasure cards may be played in any order. Action cards that give +{{Cost|}} are not considered Treasures (unless under the effect of the [[Project]] {{project|Capitalism}}), and there were no Action–Treasure cards until {{Card|Crown}} from {{Set|Empires}}.

Treasure cards have yellow frames. There are five [[basic cards|basic]] Treasure cards: {{Card|Copper}}, {{Card|Silver}}, and {{Card|Gold}}, which are in the supply in every Dominion game; {{Card|Potion}}, which is added when cards from {{Set|Alchemy}} with {{Cost|P}} in the cost are available; and {{Card|Platinum}}, which may be added in games using {{Set|Prosperity}} cards. Not counting [[removed cards]], there are 51 [[Kingdom card|Kingdom]] Treasure cards; the expansions with the greatest number of Kingdom Treasures are {{set|Plunder}}, with 14, and {{set|Prosperity}}, with 9. {{Card|Diadem}}, {{Card|Spoils}}, and [[Loot]] are special Treasures that may be gained from outside the [[Supply]] by the use of certain other cards or [[card-shaped thing]]s; [[Heirloom]]s are special Treasures that each replace a player's starting Copper when a particular Action card is in the kingdom.

The strategy of buying only Treasure cards and, in the [[endgame]], [[Victory card]]s, is called [[Big Money]]. This may be the best strategy in some "weak" [[kingdom]]s, but is usually outclassed by adding a few Action cards to the Big Money deck, or by Action-heavy [[engine]] strategies.

===What cards should be treasures?===
{{Quote
|Text=
Treasures that started out as actions:
- {{Card|Horn of Plenty}}: +{{Cost|1}} per action you have in play.

- {{Card|Philosopher's Stone}}: +1 Buy, +{{Cost|1}} per 4 cards in your deck.

- {{Card|Quarry}}: +{{Cost|2}}, actions cost {{Cost|1}} less this turn.

- {{Card|Diadem}}: +{{Cost|2}}, return this to your hand.

The original {{Card|Feast}} looks like an action {{Card|Spoils}} but that isn't where Spoils comes from really.

Treasures should make money; I made an exception for a card that wanted to be played in the buy phase. They should feel like treasures - they make money, or, there's {{Card|Horn of Plenty}} again, gain cards. They don't use an action, which affects power level.

I would lean towards making an action with "+1 Action, +{{Cost}}" a treasure, if it didn't have reasons to not make it one, like "+1 Card" or another +1 Action. {{Card|Candlestick Maker}} is an action though, and so was the version that gave +{{Cost|1}} instead of a coin token.

{{Quote
|Text={{Set|Prosperity}} had a theme of treasures that did things. Originally many of them were "when you spend this," but that created questions that I could solve by going either to "when you play this" or "while this is in play."

Since other sets don't have that theme, they don't have treasures that do something when played unless there's a compelling reason for them. It's not that an action with +1 action could be a treasure; it has to want to be a treasure. Only one card has been tried both ways - {{Card|Horn of Plenty}} was an action, and switched to being a treasure in order to count treasures you'd played (in the simplest way). {{Card|Diadem}}, {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}}, and {{Card|Fool's Gold}} all do something when played just to let them be worth varying amounts. {{Card|Spoils}} does something to be one-use. {{Card|Counterfeit}} is specifically a {{Card|Throne Room}} for treasures, it plays treasures and so naturally it's a treasure (while some people like that {{Card|Black Market}} plays treasures in the action phase, it's too confusing to be worth doing again).

I am not seeing the +1 Action cards that want to be treasures. Obv. anything that also draws cards is unhappy to be a treasure. {{Card|Forager}} could be a treasure that makes a variable amount. {{Card|Rebuild}} has no reason to be a treasure. {{Card|Bag of Gold}} sounds like a treasure, but makes {{Cost|0}}; even though {{Card|Horn of Plenty}} is a treasure worth {{Cost|0}}, that's not something to do for no good reason. {{Card|Ruined Village}} for sure did not want to be a treasure.

So overall there's just {{Card|Forager}}. I did not consider making {{Card|Forager}} a treasure. I applied no rule of thumb; I just never considered it. It was an action and nothing said "wait let's think about this."
