'''Animal Fair''' is an [[Action]] card from [[Menagerie (expansion)|Menagerie]]. It gives +{{Cost|4}} and more Buys as the game goes on. When you buy it, you can pay for it with {{Cost|7}}, or by trashing an Action card from your hand.
== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* This only checks how many piles are empty when you play it; how many [[+Buy]]s you got does not change if a pile becomes empty later in the turn (or non-empty, such as due to {{Card|Ambassador}} from {{Set|Seaside}}).
* This only counts [[Supply]] piles, not [[non-Supply]] piles like {{Card|Horse}}.
* When buying this card, you can [[trash]] an [[Action]] card from your hand instead of paying {{Cost|7}}. You can only do this if you have an Action card in hand to trash. You can do this even if you do not have {{Cost|7}}. When buying Animal Fair this way, you spend no {{Cost}}, but still use up a Buy.
* Animal Fair still has a cost of {{Cost|7}}, regardless of how you pay for it.

== Strategy ==
In games using [[Shelter]]s, you can use an [[opening]] buy on Animal Fair by trashing {{Card|Necropolis}}. {{Card|Rats}} is another card you wouldn't mind trashing to get an Animal Fair.

{{Quote|Text=Animal Fair gives you a weird way to pay for it. The card costs {{Cost|7}}; the alternate payment just applies when you're buying one. At the point at which you'd pay your {{Cost|7}}, you can trash an Action from your hand instead (and can do this when you don't have {{Cost|7}}). And then what do you get, you get +{{Cost|4}} and some number of Buys.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=The premise was the alternate cost; the first version had +2 Cards +2 Actions on top. It was just too important to madly try to acquire them. Then for a long time it was +{{Cost|4}} +1 Buy. This seemed to work out fine. But late in the going I was worried about [[Non-Attack interaction|player interaction]] and tried out +1 Buy per empty pile here. It worked great, it makes it less important early and well does have a little interaction.
