− | <li> Unlike {{Card|Hermit|oi=2}}, [[#Versions|Exploration]] only checks if you bought any cards in the current Buy phase, and not over the whole turn. So if you buy a card from the {{Card|Black Market}} in your Action phase and then buy nothing in your Buy phase, you'll get the tokens from Exploration, but you can't get a {{Card|Madman}}.
| + | |
− | <li> If you have multiple Buy phases in a single turn (due to {{Card|Villa}} or {{Card|Cavalry}}), Exploration will trigger at the end of each of those Buy phases you take. Cards bought in a previous Buy phase are not counted.

− |
| |
− | === Overview ===
| |
− | Exploration is most useful on turns when you would not buy cards anyway, such as:
| |
− | *When buying [[Event]]s or other [[Project]]s
| |
− | *Turns when you trash most of your hand, such as with {{Card|Chapel}} or {{Card|Steward}}, and cannot afford anything
| |
− | *The turn you play {{Card|Tactician}}
| |
− | *{{Card|Devil's Workshop}} gains better cards when buys are skipped.
| |
− | *Turns that dud
| |
− | *After an opponent played one or more {{Card|Swamp Hag|Swamp Hags}}
| |
− | *Paying off [[Debt]]
| |
− |
| |
− | Sometimes it can be worth sacrificing your buys to save up [[Coffers]] tokens to spike an important early purchase, such as {{Event|Inheritance}}, or to save the [[Villager]] for the following turn to prevent a [[collision]]. Exploration can also be a nice addition to a [[big money]] strategy.
| |
− |
| |
− | === Synergies/Combos ===
| |
− | *[[Event]]s, especially {{Event|Mission}}
| |
− | *{{Card|Black Market}}
| |
− | *{{Card|Tactician}}
| |
− | *Heavy trashing
| |
− | *[[Big money]]
| |
− | *[[Debt]] cards
