- This is both a Treasure and a Reaction. It can be played in your buy phase like other Treasures.
- When you play it, it is worth if this is the first time you played a Fool's Gold this turn, and otherwise it is worth . So if you play three Fool's Golds in the same turn, the first is worth , the second is worth , and the thirds is worth .
- Fool's Gold is also a Reaction. When another player gains a Province, you may trash Fool's Gold from your hand; if you do, you gain a Gold from the Supply, putting it on top of your deck rather than into your discard pile.
- If there are no cards in your deck, the Gold becomes the only card in your deck.
- If there are no Gold cards left in the Supply, you do not gain one, but can still trash Fool's Gold.

Secret History
The top started out as worth per copy you had, on a version of Ill-Gotten Gains. It needed a tortured wording to have it be that if you played three you got for each, since you play them one at a time. Bill Barksdale suggested having it be and then , which was much simpler. It's stronger when you have just two, and weaker when you have more than three, but that all worked out. Meanwhile the bottom started on a card in a later set, and bopped around a little before ending up here. At one point the Gold didn't go on top of your deck, but it's so late, it has to go there.
