{{Card|Collection}} is a [[Treasure]] card from the [[second edition]] of {{Set|Prosperity|Prosperity|ed=2}}. It rewards you with {{VP}} for gaining [[Action])s.

It replaces the [[removed]] first-edition card {{card|Goons}}, which had a similar {{VP}} effect but led to more frustrating games.

===Other Rules clarifications===
 
* You only get {{VP}} for Actions you gain after you play the Collection; it doesn't retroactively give you points for cards you gained earlier in the turn.
 
* If the Collection leaves play (for instance, because you trashed it with {{card|Counterfeit}}), you still get {{VP}} from it for the rest of the turn.

{{Quote|Text=The new {{Card|Goons}}. It only triggers on gaining [[Action]]s, just to make it play a little more differently and interestingly. And it's a Treasure because that's fun, and well not a {{Card|Militia}}, that was the important part. The first version was a [[terminal]] action; then there was a Treasure that only made {{Cost|1}}, and then a Treasure that made {{Cost|2}} but gave {{VP}} for cards you hadn't gained copies of yet that turn, instead of Actions.

=== Infinite VP with Horses ===
+
 
Players can get into a stalemate if they both play 5 Collections and buy 2 {{Event|Stampede}}s every turn, collecting 50 {{VP}} each turn forever.

{{Quote|Text= We also knew about Collection / {{Event|Stampede}}; at one point there was some focused testing there, to make sure that those games had enough gameplay. I didn't put in any work on testing tweaks since it wasn't deemed to be a problem. A big thing for me was, none of the other {{Card|Horse}} cards seemed at all a problem (not that they aren't good with Collection; just, not a problem). And {{Event|Stampede}} isn't in {{Set|Prosperity}}. It's a rare combo, like oh {{Card|Counting House}} / {{Event|Travelling Fair}}.

=== Retrospective ===
+
{{Quote|Text=No contest for me, obv. on the pro-Collection side. {{Card|Goons}} is great except for being a {{Card|Militia}}. It's a {{Card|Militia}} though. Costing {{Cost|6}} meant you got to die horribly to your opponent's earlier {{Card|Goons}}, which they lucked into. But given that I was replacing the card, I went ahead and also made it different other ways, which still sounds great to me, hooray.
