FAQ
Official FAQ
- The gained card comes from the Supply and is set aside; put it on the Blockade to remember which card goes with Blockade.
- If the gained card somehow doesn't end up set aside (for example if you trash it with Watchtower from Prosperity), nothing further happens; if the card is set aside, then you put it into your hand on your next turn, and until then, when other players gain the card on their own turns, they also gain a Curse.
Other Rules clarifications
- Like all Duration attacks, you have to reveal your Moat as soon as an opponent plays a Blockade.
- Unlike Summon, the card you gain is set aside immediately, but it can still get moved (with e.g. Gatekeeper). If it gets moved, you'll discard Blockade during Clean-up.
- Because you don't gain the card to your discard pile, that means that the abilities on Nomad Camp and Ghost Town do not matter.
- If you Blockade a Curse, then if another player on their turn gains a Curse, they will gain all the Curses. If they have a Trader in hand, they can get any and all Silvers in the Supply, but they'll still gain all the Curses.
- This only Curses another player if they gain a copy of a Blockaded card during their turn. If you make them gain a copy when it's not their turn (e.g. you buy a Messenger and give them a copy), they won't gain a Curse.
- During a Possession turn, no one will get Cursed from Blockade.

Blockade is the new Embargo. No tokens required. And it blocks other players and not you, and they can't even get around it with Workshops. It really embargoes things, you get the embargoing experience you always wanted.
Secret History
Donald X.'s opinion
Some people like to not play with attack cards at all; have the fun you want to have. For people who think the concept of attacks isn't inherently flawed, I sure don't see a problem with Blockade.
