'''Band of Nomads''' is an [[Ally]] from [[Allies]].

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* What matters is how much the card costs when you gain it, not how much it normally costs. This only works once per gain; you can spend a Favor, and then get your choice of +1 Card, +1 Action, or +1 Buy.
=== Other rules clarifications ===
* The card has to cost {{Cost|3}} or more when you gain it; if it changes cost afterwards, that doesn't matter. For example, if you gain a {{Card|Fisherman}} when it costs {{cost|2}}, and it goes into your discard pile, you can't spend a Favor for Band of Nomads, even though by that time the {{Card|Fisherman}} now costs {{Cost|5}}.
* Unlike {{Ally|City-state}}, you may spend Favors for this when gaining a card during another player's turn (with e.g. {{Card|Barbarian}}). Getting +1 Action or +1 Buy is not useful.

|Text=Band of Nomads gives you a choice, though it doesn't work with {{Card|Elder}}. It can be exciting with [[gainer]]s, and when there aren't any, well it can still make [[+Buy]]s for you.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=Originally it gave Buys at the start of the [[Buy phase]]. It's friendlier to let you use them mid-Buy-phase, but wait, needs to not loop with {{Card|Guildmaster}}. It was always clearly the dud but clearly going to survive; it was such a basic thing, +Buy tokens, they'd gotten a whole mat in {{Set|Renaissance}} at one point. It's just that some games there was another [[+Buy]] and well that card could often out-compete the [[Liaison]]. Then I was messing with what {{Ally|Woodworkers' Guild}} would be and had this idea for it, only it was basically the +Buy token thing I already had only better. And that was good so here it is. And then the cost limit stops Guildmaster shenanigans.
