Diadem is a Treasure-Prize card from Cornucopia. It is not in the Supply, and can only be gained through playing the Tournament card. It gives you for each unused Action you have—amazing when you have an engine with too many villages, but not useful in Big Money games.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- This is a Treasure worth , like Silver.
- You play it in your Buy phase, like other Treasures.
- When you play it, you get an extra + per unused Action you have. This means Actions, not Action cards. So for example if you play Farming Village (which gives you +2 Actions), then Diadem will give you an extra +, for total.
- If you play no Action cards at all on your turn, you will have one unused Action, so you will get total from Diadem.
- This is a Prize; see the Additional Rules.
Other Rules clarifications
- It is possible to steal Diadem from another player by using Thief. (This is the only known way to gain any Prize other than by playing Tournament.)
Strategy Article

It's a great card to pick up if you, for whatever reason, have an oversupply of Actions. Maybe you built a City stack for the +Card, +, and +Buy, and don't have enough terminals. Maybe your Throne Room/King's Court/Grand Market engine is generating a huge surplus of Actions.
However, in a Tournament game, this will rarely be the case, since Tournament games are often a race to the first Province, with no time to set up a huge engine. Even so, Diadem will often be worth , and can be a good Prize to take if the situation demands it.
