'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[Action]]-[[Duration]] card from {{Set|Plunder}}. It is a [[gainer]] that stays in play for the rest of the game, gaining cheap cards and setting them aside to save for later, and letting you put the gained cards directly in your hand on the turns when you're ready for them.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* Quartermaster stays [[in play]] for the rest of the game.
* Each turn you either [[gain]] a card and put it on the Quartermaster, or take one of the cards you've already gained with that Quartermaster and put it into your hand.
* If you play two Quartermasters, they each have their own set of cards. However if you {{Card|Throne Room}} a Quartermaster, you just have one set of cards for it, and twice on each of your turns, either add one or take one.
=== Other rules clarifications ===
* Cards that were gained and set aside on Quartermaster are still yours at the end of the game. So you can gain {{Card|Estate}}s and leave them set aside forever (effectively exiling them).
* The card you gain is immediately set aside, and [[No Visiting rule|doesn't visit]] your discard pile. So if you gain a {{Card|Ghost Town}}, it will be set aside on this (instead of going to your hand).
* However, abilities that move cards ''when you gain them'' can move a card that's gained with Quartermaster. So if you gain a {{Card|Siren}} with this, it will still trash itself (unless you trash an Action from your hand).
* If you use {{Card|Throne Room}} on {{Card|Overlord}}, and have it play 2 Quartermasters, there will be 2 sets of cards that cards are gained to. {{Card|Overlord}} will stay in play forever, while {{Card|Throne Room}} won't.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text= Early on I had a Duration card for {{Cost|5}} that gained a {{Card|Copper}}, a {{Card|Silver}}, and a [[Loot]], setting them aside, and doled them out one per turn. You don't want {{Card|Copper}}, right, so, how about a {{Card|Silver}}, a [[Loot]], and a card costing up to {{Cost|4}}? This was briefly fun, but too strong. Then back to the {{Card|Copper}}, but wait we hadn't liked that and still didn't. Then I tried, gain two differently named {{nowrap|{{Cost|4}}'s,}} and get one each turn. Then I thought of the final card. It's an old idea in a form that finally works - having a stash of cards that you add to or take from.

=== Retrospective ===
{{Quote|Text= 
If the set had had even more time spent on it, maybe it would have come up, and I might have tried a version that always alternates, see how that goes (if there's a card, take it, otherwise gain a card onto it). The bot has taught me to be terrified of Quartermaster pile-outs; it will get out four of them in any game with it, and they will pile up cards. I like having the card be as flexible as possible, but it certainly looms, this ability to just stock up cards you're never taking.
