* {{BaseCard|Trash|Trash card}} | * {{BaseCard|Trash|Trash card}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Basic Treasures == | ||
| + | *'''Copper''' is a [[Treasure]] that produces {{Cost|1}} when played. Coppers cost {{Cost|0}}, meaning they are "free," although they use up a [[buy]]. Each player starts with 7 Coppers in their deck. Copper is usually not desirable in one's deck, and is usually fodder for [[trasher|trashers]] when trashers are present in the kingdom. | ||
| + | |||
| + | *'''Silver''' is a Treasure that produces {{Cost|2}} and costs {{Cost|3}}. It is a common [[opening]] buy. Every [[kingdom card]] that costs {{Cost|3}} competes with Silver, making the "[[Silver test]]" ("Is this card really better than Silver for my deck?") something to consider. | ||
| + | |||
| + | *'''Gold''' is a Treasure that produces {{Cost|3}} and costs {{Cost|6}}. It is a valuable card for many decks, and is a popular buy with {{Cost|6}} and {{Cost|7}} to spend, though buying a strong Kingdom card costing {{Cost|5}} or more can often be a better choice. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Basic Victory cards == | ||
| + | *'''Estate''' is a [[Victory card]] that gives 1 {{VP}} and costs {{Cost|2}}. Each player starts with 3 Estates in their deck. Like Copper, Estates are undesirable in one's deck at the beginning of the game, but unlike Copper, they can be crucial in the [[endgame]] when every point matters. For this reason, they are mainly bought at the end of games, usually when one is unable to buy a Province or Duchy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | *'''Duchy''' is a Victory card that gives 3 {{VP}} and costs {{Cost|5}}. Duchies are usually not bought until the endgame where one cannot afford a Province or one is observing the [[Penultimate Province Rule]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | *'''Province''' is a Victory card that gives 6 {{VP}} and costs {{Cost|8}}. In many games, the goal is to buy as many Provinces as possible, since they are usually the most valuable victory card in every game (except in {{Card|Colony}} games or with strong Alt-VP cards). | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Curse == | ||
| + | |||
| + | *'''Curse''' is a card that gives –1 {{VP}} and costs {{Cost|0}}. Players rarely intentionally add a Curse to their own decks, but there are [[curser]]s -- [[Attack]]s that give Curses to opponents -- and some effects that give out Curses as a penalty or drawback like {{Card|Cursed Gold}} and {{Landmark|Defiled Shrine}}. However, Curse is always in the Supply, even in games that do not include such Kingdom cards. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Special basic cards == | ||
| + | |||
| + | A few expansions provide additional basic cards. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[Alchemy]] includes '''{{Card|Potion}}''', a Treasure card that produces {{Cost|P}} when played and costs {{Cost|4}}. It is added to the supply in games using Kingdom cards with {{Cost|P}} in their cost. | ||
| + | * [[Prosperity]] includes '''{{Card|Platinum}}''', a Treasure card that produces {{Cost|5}} and costs {{Cost|9}}, and '''{{Card|Colony}}''', a Victory card that gives 10 {{VP}} and costs {{Cost|11}}. These may be included in the Supply in games using Kingdom cards from Prosperity. | ||
| + | * [[Dark Ages]] includes '''[[Ruins]]''', a collection of weak [[Action]] cards costing {{Cost|0}}, which, like Curses, are distributed by some Kingdom cards (called [[Looter|Looters]]) as an Attack or penalty. Ruins are added to the Supply in games using Looters. Dark Ages also includes '''[[Shelter|Shelters]]''', cards costing {{Cost|1}} which can replace Estates in players' starting decks and never appear in the Supply; these may be used in games including Kingdom cards from Dark Ages. | ||
| + | * {{Set|Nocturne}} includes '''[[Heirloom]]s''', a variety of alternate Treasure cards that replace Coppers in players' starting decks when certain Kingdom cards are in use, and never appear in the Supply. | ||
