Reveal your hand. –$1 per Treasure card in your hand.
(You can't go below $0.)

Poor House is an Action card from Dark Ages. It is the only Kingdom card with a cost of $1 and the only one that can subtract $ from your total. It provides you with $4 minus the number of Treasures in your hand: great when you can get rid of treasures, not so great otherwise!

Its cost of $1 can have weird consequences: for instance, cards like UpgradeUpgrade.jpg and RemakeRemake.jpg can no longer be used to trash CopperCopper.jpg with impunity if Poor House is in the supply.

Strategy Article

There is no strategy article yet for Poor House. Feel free to add your thoughts!

In the basic case, Poor House's on-play effect is very similar to Secret Chamber'sSecret Chamber.jpg, even though the card texts are very different. In an ordinary 5-card hand with one action, you will use Secret Chamber to discard your non-Treasure cards and get +$1 for each of them, adding up to the same amount of money you'd get from Poor House: $4 minus the number of Treasure cards in your hand. The circumstances which make Poor House stronger, however, are very different from those that make Secret Chamber stronger. Unlike Secret Chamber, Poor House is weakened in large hands but retains its effectiveness in small hands; in the presence of extra actions, multiple Poor Houses can be played to give you the same bonus, while playing multiple Secret Chambers consecutively is worse than just playing one.

Poor House has one very obvious use—as a terminal +$4 in a deck where you have trashed all your Treasures, or are able to discard them. This makes it a top-notch buy in games with heavy trashing such as ChapelChapel.jpg. Without treasure in hand, a village and two Poor Houses can buy a ProvinceProvince.jpg, as good as three Golds.

Poor House's interaction with AmbassadorAmbassador.jpg is complex. If you safely open with two Ambassadors and rid your deck of most CoppersCopper.jpg, Poor House can restart your buying power quickly. However, this strategy can be mitigated by an opponent who pursues a similar strategy and sends you Copper aggressively.

Poor House is obviously terrible in Big Money or in engine games with weak trashing.

Poor House has a love/hate relationship with RemakeRemake.jpg, UpgradeUpgrade.jpg, and DevelopDevelop.jpg: when Poor House is around, these can be amazing to jump-start a money-free poor-house centered deck, or they can be terrible, bloating your deck with the mostly-useless terminal action. (of course, getting actions for free, and a guaranteed 4 every turn can help VineyardsVineyard.jpg along)

Discarding

Discarding and sifters can enable you to buy (and cash in on) Poor Houses earlier than you normally would, or get by without as strong trashing or even without trashing at all. Poor House works especially well with HamletHamlet.jpg; Hamlet can discard unwanted treasures while providing +Action and +Buy, allowing one to play or buy additional Poor Houses or Hamlets. WarehouseWarehouse.jpg is slightly less useful, and OasisOasis.jpg yet weaker, but still helpful. CellarCellar.jpg does not work quite as well as it discards before drawing, but can be useful for mostly-thinned decks with a few stray Coppers left, or to sift through to find other cards.

VaultVault.jpg, Secret ChamberSecret Chamber.jpg, StoreroomStoreroom.jpg, and Horse TradersHorse Traders.jpg can also be used to drop treasure (for benefit) and activate Poor House, but these cards are terminal and require abundant +Actions to be used together with Poor House.

Black MarketBlack Market.jpg works in a similar fashion, allowing you to get the treasures out of your hand and into play. Of course, playing Black Market first means you can't use the $4 from Poor House to make your Black Market buy, in addition to the terminal consideration.

Poor House says, build a deck with no money. Also a VillageVillage.jpg, no money and a Village. If you can’t trash your money, at least discard it somehow. And it costs $1. Why even have a card that costs $1 – aren’t you usually going to be paying at least $2 for it? Well sure, but you know. Not always. Anyway it’s cool to have a card that costs $1, I don’t know what to tell you.

Secret History

This started in Prosperity. At the time I thought having a few anti-theme cards in a set would be cool. It turns out it's not; it just makes those cards less likely to be played when playing with kingdom cards heavy on whatever expansion. So Poor House moved to Hinterlands, and while it seemed fine there, one day it seemed like, why isn't this in Dark Ages.


The original card got you +$5 if you had no treasure in hand. Sir Bailey suggested changing it so that you got varying amounts of money depending on how close you came to no treasures. Then for a long time it cost $2, but Sir Martin suggested having it cost $1 for flavor reasons. It makes a functional difference in various situations and that's cool too.
