FAQ
Official FAQ
- Idol cares how many Idols you have in play, not how many you have played this turn; some cards can make those numbers different (e.g. Counterfeit from Dark Ages).
- If you have one Idol in play, you receive a Boon, if two, the other players gain a Curse, if three, you receive a Boon, and so on.

Trivia
Preview
Idol alternates giving you Boons and Cursing the other players. It's that rare thing, a Cursing attack that doesn't just run out the Curses. Of course some games you get four and are playing them every turn. But not every game.
Secret History
I wanted a Treasure that gave Boons, but didn't want to slow the game down too much. So it gives you one every other time, and Curses the other times. It also does the nice trick of being a Cursing attack that doesn't always run out the Curses.
