This article is about the type of card-shaped thing. For the expansion, see Allies.
Allies are a landscape type introduced in the Allies expansion, which provide ways to use Favor tokens in games in which they are available.
Allies are not Kingdom cards, but are added to the game whenever one or more Kingdom cards have the Liaison type. In any game using Liaisons, exactly one Ally is chosen, and it determines what effect Favor tokens have in that game. Since Allies are not considered cards, they cannot be bought or gained; the way to take advantage of their abilities is to accumulate Favor tokens and then use them as instructed by the Ally.
There are 23 Allies, printed on cards in a landscape orientation with yellowish grey/parchment frames.

Official Rules
- In games using one or more Liaison cards, give each player a Favors mat and deal out a single Ally card. The Ally cards are a separate deck, not combined with Events and so on.
- Each player gets a single Favor token to start with (or five tokens in games with Importer).
- Allies are landscape cards that give Favor tokens a use; Liaisons are kingdom cards that provide a way to get Favor tokens.
- In games with a Liaison, deal out a random Ally to use that game. Only use one Ally per game, even with multiple Liaisons. You can still have as many other landscape cards (Events, Landmarks, Projects, Ways) as you otherwise would have.
- Coin tokens are used for Favors; they go on a Favors may to distinguish them from Coffers and Villagers (from other expansions), which have their own mats. When a card gives you +1 Favor, add a token to your mat; when spending a Favor, remove the token from your mat.
- Favors may be used starting with the first turn of the game; they may not be used prior to that turn. Spending Favors is always optional. Spending Favors can only be done once per time an Ally ability triggers, unless it says, "Repeat as desired."

Preview
Allies are landscape cards that tell you how a Favor token can be used. Favor tokens are produced by Liaisons. In games with a Liaison, you put out a single Ally (even with multiple Liaisons), and well that's that, it tells you what the token does. There are 23 Allies, in their own separate deck, which is like having 23 new kinds of tokens. Only we use coin tokens for all of them, and put them on a mat.
