'''Obelisk''' is a [[Landmark]] from [[Empires]].  It rewards players with 2{{VP}} for each card they have from an [[Action]] [[Supply]] pile randomly chosen at the start of the game.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* All cards from the chosen pile count, even if they have different names (such as when it is a [[split pile]]). 
* [[Ruins]] (from [[Dark Ages|Dominion: Dark Ages]]), when used, can be the pile.

== Strategy ==
*Setup tip: shuffle the randomizer cards and pick one, that will be the chosen card.
*If the chosen Action card is also a Victory card, they will be worth an additional 2{{VP}}. This means that {{Card|Great Hall}} and {{Card|Mill}} are worth 3{{VP}}, while {{Card|Dame Josephine}}, {{Card|Island}} and {{Card|Nobles}} are now worth 4{{VP}}. 

Obelisk, much like its more-famed cousin {{Landmark|Tower}}, encourages pile-driving, and in particular rewards players who risk opening turns to pile-drive a certain pile, possibly weaving those cards into a novel, winning strategy. This Landmark in particular works extremely well with gainers, such as {{Card|Workshop}}, {{Card|Ironworks}}, and {{Card|Cobbler}}.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=Originally it could be any Kingdom card. I already knew from some [[Adventures]] playtesting that many people don't know that term. I used it anyway, then replaced it with Action.
