The large majority of [[Kingdom card|Kingdom cards]] are Action cards. By default, unlike [[Treasure]] cards, each player may play only one Action card on a turn; however, many Action cards provide you with the right to play additional Action cards on the same turn. Action cards may have a wide variety of effects, from [[vanilla]] bonuses to [[attack|attacking]] other players to rearranging cards in the deck. |

It begins a player's turn and is the only phase in which they are permitted to play Action cards. The rule book describes the Action phase as follows: |
:In the Action phase, the player may play one Action card. Action cards are the Kingdom cards that say “Action” at the bottom of the card. Since players do not start the game with any Action cards in their initial Decks of 10 cards, a player will not have any Actions to play during his first 2 turns. Normally, a player may play only one Action card, but this number may be modified by the Action cards that the player plays. | :In the Action phase, the player may play one Action card.

:To play an Action, the player takes an Action card from his hand and lays it face-up in his play area. He announces which card he is playing and follows the instructions written on that card from top to bottom. The player may still play an Action card even if he is not able to do everything the Action card tells him to do; but the player must do as much as he can. Furthermore, the player must fully resolve an Action card before playing another one (if he is able to play another Action card). Detailed information about card abilities can be found in the card descriptions at the end of these rules. Any Action cards played remain in the player’s play area until the Clean-up phase of the turn unless otherwise indicated on the card. The Action phase ends when the player cannot or chooses not to play any more Action cards. Generally, a player can only play Action cards during the Action phase of his turn. However, Reaction cards are an exception to this rule as they can be used at other times. | :To play an Action, the player takes an Action card from his hand and lays it face-up in his play area.
