Expedition, an Event.

Events, introduced in Adventures, are special on-buy effects not attached to cards; players can buy Events during their Buy phase to trigger whatever the effect of the Event is, as an alternative to (or in addition to) buying cards from the supply.

Events are not Kingdom cards; including one or more Events in a game does not count toward the 10 Kingdom card piles the supply includes. In fact, Events are not considered "cards" at all; any text referring to a "card" (such as instructions to "name a card", or cost reducers changing the cost of cards) does not apply to Events. However, for reference, the Event effects and costs are printed on cards in a landscape orientation with silver frames.

There are 20 Events, any number of which may be used in a game of Dominion, though Donald X recommends not using more than two. When choosing a random Kingdom, the Events may be shuffled into the randomizer deck; any Events that are dealt once 10 Kingdom cards have also been dealt will be included in the game.

Official Rules

  • Adventures has Event cards. These are not Kingdom cards.
  • In a player’s Buy phase, when the player can buy a card, the player can buy an Event instead.
  • Buying an Event means paying the cost indicated on the Event and then doing the effect of the Event.
  • The Event just stays on the table, the player does not take it; there is no way for a player to gain one or end up with one in his deck.
  • Buying an Event uses up a Buy; normally a player can either buy a card, or buy an Event.
  • A player with two Buys, such as after playing RangerRanger.jpg, could buy two cards, or buy two Events, or buy a card and an Event (in either order).
  • The same Event can be bought multiple times in a turn if the player has the Buys and $ available to do it.
  • Some Events give +Buys and so let the player buy further cards/Events afterwards.
  • Players cannot play further Treasures that turn after buying an Event.
  • Buying an Event is not buying a card and so does not trigger cards like Swamp HagSwamp Hag.jpg or GoonsGoons.jpg (from Prosperity).
  • Costs of Events are not affected by cards like Bridge TrollBridge Troll.jpg.

Preparation

  • Event cards can also be shuffled into the randomizer deck.
  • Events are not part of the 10 Kingdom cards used in a game; when an Event is turned over, put it on the table but keep turning over cards until you get 10 Kingdom cards.
  • For normal play we recommend using at most two Events per game; skip any further Events.
  • Skip Events when using a randomizer card to determine whether or not to use PlatinumPlatinum.jpg/ColonyColony.jpg (from Prosperity), or Shelters (from Dark Ages) in a game.
  • Events cannot be Young Witch'sYoung Witch.jpg bane (from Cornucopia).

Trivia

Preview

Adventures has 30 Kingdom cards. It also has 20 Events. It's high time we looked at some of those. Man, they're sideways.


An Event is something you can buy in your Buy phase that isn't a card. You pay your $, you use up a Buy, and something happens. They don't take up Kingdom card slots; you shuffle them into your randomizer deck, but when you deal out cards, keep going until you have 10 Kingdom cards. I recommend stopping at two Events, but it's up to you.
