Tribute is an Action card from Intrigue. It gives you a variable bonus depending on the top 2 cards of an opponent's deck; this bonus can range from extremely weak, if your opponent reveals two identical Treasures or Victory cards, to extremely strong, if your opponent reveals a Nobles and a Harem. Tribute is a difficult card to use because of its unpredictability, and it works best with dual-type cards.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- If the player after you has fewer than 2 cards left in his deck, he reveals all the cards in his deck, shuffles his discard pile (which does not include currently revealed cards), and then reveals the remainder needed. The player then discards the revealed cards.
- If the player after you does not have enough cards to reveal 2, he reveals what he can.
- You get bonuses for the types of cards revealed, counting only the different cards.
- A card with 2 types gives you both bonuses. So if the player to your left reveals Copper and Harem, you get + and +2 cards; if he reveals 2 Silvers, you just get +.
- Curse produces no bonus.
