A card is not a member of types that are not listed on the bottom banner of the card, even if they have abilities that resemble those of cards of that type. For instance, {{Card|Masquerade}} can be used to put undesirable cards into an opponent's deck, or to remove desirable cards from it, but it is not an [[Attack]] card because it does not have "Attack" listed at the bottom of the card. However, there are a few abilities that can change cards' types for gameplay purposes: {{event|Inheritance}} causes [[Estate]]s (normally just a Victory card) to also be [[Action]]s and [[Command]]s; {{project|Capitalism}} causes some Action cards to also be Treasures; and {{card|Charlatan}} causes {{card|Curse}}s to also be Treasures.

Many card types are associated with a specific color; on cards of a given type, the background frame surrounding the card art and text are tinted in the appropriate color. Cards with certain combinations of types have two colors.

Occasionally some effects depend on the type of a ''pile'' in the Supply, rather than the type of a specific card. For [[split pile]]s, which have multiple different cards in them which may belong to different types, the [[randomizer]] card for the pile indicates which types the pile as a whole is considered to have. For instance, {{card|Gladiator}}/{{card|Fortune}} is an [[Action]] pile, and therefore eligible to have [[Adventures]] tokens placed on it, even though {{card|Fortune}} is not an Action.
