{{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.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* You get +1{{VP}} for each Action card you gain, whether bought, or gained some other way.
* Multiple copies of this are cumulative; if you played two Collections and buy a {{Card|Village}}, you'll get +2{{VP}}.

===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=<p>Ah, {{Card|Goons}}. You've made me so many {{VP}} [[VP tokens|tokens]]. It's good times. Except for the {{Card|Militia}} part. And then you get Goons first and Militia them so they can't afford Goons. And then Militia every turn. It just sucks the fun out of the other part, which is so good.</p><p>Collection is trying to be, not just a Goons replacement, but also a different card. I didn't just want Goons minus the Militia. So it's a [[Treasure]], making it easy to play multiples, but cares about [[Action]]s specifically, so you can't buy up {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} for it, or [[Victory]] cards. It's a different version of the Goons experience.</p>

=== Secret History ===
{{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.
