'''Temple''' is an [[Action]]-[[Gathering]] card from [[Empires]].  It is a [[trasher]] that gains and Gathers {{VP}} [[Victory token|token]]s when played; the Gathered {{VP}} is taken when a player gains a Temple.
== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* You get +1{{VP}}, trash 1, 2, or 3 cards with different names from your hand (for example a {{Card|Copper}} and an {{Card|Estate}}, but not two Coppers), then add 1{{VP}} (from the supply) to the Temple pile.
* Gaining a Temple (whether buying it or otherwise) gives you all the {{VP}} that has accumulated on the pile. 
* The pile gets {{VP}} even if it is empty; this only matters if there is a way to return a Temple to the pile (like {{Card|Ambassador}} from [[Seaside|Dominion: Seaside]]) or a way to gain one from the trash (like {{Card|Graverobber}} from [[Dark Ages|Dominion: Dark Ages]]).

|Text=Temple is more exotic. The basic function of the card both gives you {{VP}} and puts {{VP}} on the pile - sitting right there on the Temples. And then someone buying a Temple takes that {{VP}}. So playing Temple is a {{VP}} now for you, and a {{VP}} later for someone, could be you or someone else. Temple has this weird word "Gathering" on the bottom, I should say something there. Well uh. It groups together a few cards that put {{VP}} on their piles, and lets another card refer to them (in a "let's not mess this up" way). So that's that.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=At first it didn't have the when-gain ability (or put {{VP}} on the pile, don't be silly). When I thought of having {{VP}} tokens on piles, I added that part, and it all worked out.

+* German: Tempel
-Temple's closest cousin is [[Bishop]]. both give victory points, both give trashing, and both have some small thing that makes them unique. the two main things that make temple different from bishop is that temple provides a fixed number of victory points. This is always worse than bishop. the second difference is is that it is quicker in trashing. that is most of the time why you buy it. it might not be as quick as chapel as it on average only trashes 2 cards., but it gives points while doing so. that likely is not going to matter during the early game, but in the endgame, you'll be glad you trashed with temple. Since temple is typically a slow trasher, you generally want to add a second one. Sometimes during the greening, there might be so much vp tokens on the temple pile that it may be worth more than a province. that makes it crucial to get it before your opponent does, which brings us to our last point: anticipating when to buy temple purely for it's when gain effect. you might want to do this during the midgame, as you can always trash it together with a copper and estate, but there is significant opportunity cost when doing so. Usually, the correct move is to buy it just before the greening for it's when gain effect (you get it's points and then trash estates while maintaining the same number of points). finally, special notes go to the ruins and shelters which are diverse junk, which means temple will trash more.
-'''conclusion'''
-if you are looking just for trashing, better options are usually available, but the vp chips make it a worthwhile investment.

-=== Why differently named cards? ===
-{{Quote|Text=
-It was just a way to try to make Temple a little new, when the premise was just "some kind of trasher that gives +1{{VP}}." And that seemed fine but then I thought of the when-gain and put it there.
