'''Hoard''' is a [[Treasure]] card from [[Prosperity]]. It is a [[gainer]], since it allows you to gain {{Card|Gold}} cards without buying them, by buying a [[Victory]] card with Hoard in play.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ (2022) ===
* You only gain a {{Card|Gold}} when you gain a [[Victory]] card that you bought, not when you gain a Victory card other ways (such as via {{Card|War Chest}}). 
* The {{Card|Gold}} comes from the [[Supply]] and is put into your discard pile. 
* This is cumulative, and works on all gains; for example if you have two Hoards in play, and buy and gain two {{Card|Estate|Estates}}, you'll gain four {{Card|Gold|Golds}} total.
=== Other rules clarifications ===
Hoard got errata in 2022 so that it's no longer a while-in-play effect, and the {{Card|Gold}} gain was delayed to when you gained the bought Victory card. 
* If you play this twice with e.g. {{Card|Tiara}} or {{Card|Crown}}, buying and gaining a Victory card will gain you two {{Card|Gold|Golds}}.

| <ul>
<li> When you buy a [[Victory]] card with this in play, you gain a {{Card|Gold}} card from the [[Supply]], putting it into your discard pile. 
<li> If there are no Golds left, you do not get one. 
<li> If you have multiple Hoards in play, you will gain multiple {{Card|Gold|Golds}} from buying a single Victory card. 
<li> If you buy multiple Victory cards, you will get Gold for each one. 
<li> So for example if you had two Hoards in play and no other money, with +1 Buy, you could buy two {{Card|Estate|Estates}} and gain four {{Card|Gold|Golds}}. 
<li> Victory cards gained other than via buying them do not get you Gold.

== Strategy ==
Hoard is an expensive [[Kingdom]] [[Treasure]] and {{Card|Gold}} [[gainer]] that varies in appeal depending on whether this latter effect is valuable or not; if this is not activated, it’s simply a pricey {{Card|Silver}}. When you’re building an [[engine]], Hoard is often mediocre due to its antithetical nature to the principles of [[deck control]]: it is itself a [[stop card]] that requires you to gain other stop cards ([[Victory]] cards) in order to gain even more stop cards ({{Card|Gold|Golds}}). Stronger [[payload]] options that are less demanding in terms of [[draw]] are usually available. Hoard can, however, be a useful addition to your deck in cases where you can both activate and benefit from the {{Card|Gold}}-gaining. 

In [[money strategy|money strategies]], Hoard can be helpful to achieve and maintain a high [[money density]] by adding more payload cards during [[greening]]. When used in this way, Hoard is usually best added instead of your first {{Card|Gold}}, with the aim of buying  {{Card|Province|Provinces}} with it in play. Even if you can’t afford a {{Card|Province}}, buying another Victory card instead is still useful for pushing your money density towards 1.5 {{Cost}} per stop card. In an engine, Hoard is less frequently useful, but a single copy may be attractive in a Kingdom with strong draw but where payload is otherwise difficult to add, and can help you ramp from one {{Card|Province}} per turn to two. In these cases, Hoard should be added once you have achieved full deck control, usually including [[thinning]] your starting cards. 

While Hoard is not the fastest or most flexible {{Card|Gold}} gainer, it can still function sufficiently in that role. With [[trash for benefit]] cards such as {{Card|Apprentice}} or a [[Remodel variant]], you can use a single Hoard to provide high-priced fodder for this effect while simultaneously maintaining deck control by trashing {{Card|Gold}} at the same rate as you gain it. If your engine relies on Treasure cards (such as with {{Card|Storyteller}}) or if gaining {{Card|Gold}} offers some other supplemental benefit (such as with {{Landmark|Keep}}), Hoard can be useful for the purpose.

If your engine is buying Victory cards as part of the building process (such as with {{Card|Nobles}}, {{Card|Shepherd}}, or {{Event|Inheritance}}), Hoard can provide payload earlier than it otherwise would, since adding Victory cards benefits your deck rather than being something to delay as long as possible.

{{Quote
|Text= The big question with Hoard is, when is it okay to buy weaker {{VP}} cards in order to get the {{Card|Gold}}? Like, your deck gains an {{Card|Estate}} and a {{Card|Gold}}. Is that good? Well this is Combo Corner and that's just one card, so you'll have to figure that out for yourself. It's definitely worth it if you have multiple Hoards out though. You will eventually see someone play a {{Card|Worker's Village}} and two Hoards and buy two {{Card|Estate}}s, gaining four {{Card|Gold}}s. Victory cards that do something ({{Card|Great Hall}} etc.) are especially nice. Add a {{Card|Royal Seal}} or {{Card|Watchtower}} and you can put the {{Card|Gold}} right on your deck for next turn.

=== 2E Rewording ===
{{Quote
|Text=
Lots and lots of players conflate "when you gain" with "when you buy"; for example they expect to gain two {{Card|Port}}s when using {{Card|Workshop}} to gain one. People who know the rules well still get tripped up by this sometimes. Then there's, when-buy is timed differently from when-gain - it happens first. This again endlessly is not something people expect, and causes weird things to happen. For example you can buy the last card of a pile with {{Card|Talisman}} in play, gain that card with {{Card|Talisman}}, and then fail to gain a card due to the buy itself.

It should have been that I only had when-gain from the start. And this has been clear since before Hinterlands came out. I kept when-buy because a few cards needed it to not have some other fix, and I'd already put out {{Card|Mint}} with when-buy. I immediately regretted it, then felt for years like, oh well, that damage is done, and made more when-buy cards. Finally I stopped making them and now I'm getting rid of them.

Some people immediately feel like getting rid of when-buy is removing some important nuance or complexity. It isn't! It isn't, you heard it here. The game has so much nuance; no particular instance of it is important. And I mean the last few expansions have no when-buy; I have been on this plan for years now.

Some needed to avoid loops. Hoard has no loops, but I've playtested cards that would loop with it if it were a pure when-gain. It was a real question, did I really have to fix it; I always think I won't get talked into more expansions, but if I do, I'll sure be glad I didn't rule out future cards due to trying to be nice to Hoard.

Let's be clear: "When you gain a card you bought" is awful. It's not "yeeha, just what I've always wanted"; it's, "this is my least bad option, oh well, I take it." Other things you can do in these cases, e.g. "once per turn," were more of a change; despite how it may look, I was trying to minimize changes.

["While this is in play"] also endlessly confuses players. Who are these players, someone is asking. Man. They're everywhere. Maybe you are in a bubble of rules experts, I dunno; they're really out there. They are surprised when {{Card|Throne Room|Throne}} - {{Card|Goons}} doesn't work and so on.
