This page is an index of the various situations that can cause a card's abilities to be triggered. This can be interpreted as data for a flow chart: For example, if you are buying a card, look at the list of "when you buy a card" triggers to see if any of those effects apply, and if they do, execute them; then you can see if any of the effects triggered by buying a card themselves trigger other effects, and so on. It is often the case that a single trigger can activate multiple cards' abilities simultaneously, and then the abilities must be resolved one at a time using the rules below.

Revision as of 12:31, 1 July 2020

The default time in Dominion at which a card has an effect is when it is played. If an Action or Treasure card's text doesn't state specifically when the instructions on it are to be carried out, it is when the card is played. Since cards are played one at a time in Dominion (even Treasure cards), there is never any ambiguity about what order to resolve these effects in: play one card, resolving its effects; then play the next card, resolving its effects. Similarly, Events by default are resolved when you buy them.

Many cards, however, and several Events and Landmarks, have effects at specifically-stated other times. This page is an index of the various situations that can cause a card's abilities to be triggered. This can be interpreted as data for a flow chart: For example, if you are buying a card, look at the list of "when you buy a card" triggers to see if any of those effects apply, and if they do, execute them; then you can see if any of the effects triggered by buying a card themselves trigger other effects, and so on. It is often the case that a single trigger can activate multiple cards' abilities simultaneously, and then the abilities must be resolved one at a time using the rules below.

Some effects that take place at times other than when a card is played are thought of as being "set up" by playing a card; even though the effect itself takes place later, the act of playing the card is what causes it to happen. For example, playing the same card twice will cause the later effect to take place twice, and moving the card out of play will not prevent the set-up effect from taking place. Similarly, some Events "set up" effects for later when bought. Such effects are in general not listed here. Other effects are caused by a card being in a particular location, such as the play area, regardless of how or why it got there.

Cards in italics have been removed.

Contents

Official Rules

  • If multiple cards resolve at the same time on your turn (for example, Duration cards that do something “at the start of your next turn”), you choose what order to resolve them.
  • A card that affects multiple players during your turn still resolves in player order, affecting you first if it affects all players and then proceeding clockwise.

Other rules clarifications

  • If an effect causes you to gain or draw multiple cards, you always in principle gain or draw them one at a time, resolving any on-gain or on-draw abilities of one before moving on to the next. However, if you are instructed to trash or discard multiple cards, unless that effect is explicitly sequential, they are trashed or discarded at the same time. For example, StewardSteward.jpg can trash 2 cards; if you choose that option, you may not trash one card, resolve an on-trash effect (such as Market SquareMarket Square.jpg's), then trash the other card. Both cards must be trashed simultaneously, and on-trash effects resolved with afterwards. Conversely, RemakeRemake.jpg trashes two cards, but it instructs you specifically to trash them one at a time.
  • At the end of the game, your discard pile, your hand, cards you have in play, cards you've set aside, and cards you've put on mats all count as part of your deck.

Punctual effects

These are abilities that are executed at a single point in time: you fully resolve the card's ability by following the instructions on the card in order, and then move on to the next ability to be resolved.

At the beginning of the game

These do not happen in any particular order, and should all be completely resolved before the first turn begins. For example, if the Bane for Young Witch is the Black Market, then you must prepare a Black Market deck; conversely if Young Witch is in the Black Market, you must add a Bane pile.

At the start of your turn

Playing a card

When you play a card, first

These effects take place "first", before other effects triggered by playing a card.

For any type of played card…

If the played card is an Action

If the played card is an Attack

  • MoatMoat.jpg: Another player may reveal this from their hand to be unaffected by the Attack.
  • Secret ChamberSecret Chamber.jpg: Another player may reveal this from their hand. If they do, they draw 2 cards, then puts 2 cards from their hand on top of their deck.
  • DiplomatDiplomat.jpg: Another player may reveal this from their hand of 5 or more cards. If they do, they draw 2 cards, then discard 3 cards.
  • Horse TradersHorse Traders.jpg: Another player may set this aside from their hand.
  • BeggarBeggar.jpg: Another player may discard this [from their hand]. If they do, they gain two SilversSilver.jpg, putting onto their deck.
  • UrchinUrchin.jpg: You may trash this from play if it is not the played Attack card. If you do, gain a MercenaryMercenary.jpg from the Mercenary pile.
  • Caravan GuardCaravan Guard.jpg: Another player may play this from their hand.

When you play a card

These effects take place after the card enters the play area but before you resolve any of its own on-play abilities.

If the played card is an Action

  • EnchantressEnchantress.jpg: If it's the first time you've played an Action this turn, get +1 Card and +1 Action instead of following its instructions.
  • CitadelCitadel.jpg: If it's the first time you've played an Action this turn, play it again afterwards.
  • Ways: You may perform the Way instead of following this card's instructions.

If the played card is a SilverSilver.jpg

  • MerchantMerchant.jpg: If it's the first Silver you're played this turn, +$1.
  • SaunaSauna.jpg: You may trash a card from your hand.

On-play effects

The vast majority of Action and Treasure cards have on-play effects of some kind. Several Treasures, plus the Action card Noble BrigandNoble Brigand.jpg, use phrasing along the lines of "when you play this". Despite the similarity of this wording to things like "when you play an Attack card", this is not the same trigger. On-play effects of cards always take place after the "when you play a card" effects of other cards.

Since most cards have on-play effects of their own, we do not list them all here. However, two cards have an effect that modifies the on-play ability of another card:

Directly after you finish playing an Action card

When you buy a card

Remember that buying a card happens before gaining it, so all these effects happen before you gain the relevant card, and before any of its on-gain effects happen.

When you buy any card:

  • EmbargoEmbargo.jpg: Gain a CurseCurse.jpg card per Embargo token on that pile.
  • TalismanTalisman.jpg: If the card costs $4 or less and is not a Victory card, gain a copy of it.

  • HoardHoard.jpg: If it is a Victory card, gain a GoldGold.jpg.

  • Merchant GuildMerchant Guild.jpg: +1 Coffers
  • Haunted WoodsHaunted Woods.jpg: Put your hand on top of your deck in any order.
  • Swamp HagSwamp Hag.jpg: Gain a CurseCurse.jpg.
  • PlanPlan.jpg: If the bought card has your Trashing token on its pile, you may trash a card from your hand.
  • CharmCharm.jpg: If this is the next card you've bought this turn, you may also gain a differently named card with the same cost.
  • TaxTax.jpg: Take the D from its pile.
  • BasilicaBasilica.jpg: If you have $2 or more left, take 2VP from here.
  • ColonnadeColonnade.jpg: If it's an Action, and you have a copy of it in play, take 2VP from here.
  • Defiled ShrineDefiled Shrine.jpg: If it's CurseCurse.jpg, take the VP from this.

When you buy this card:

  • MintMint.jpg: Trash all Treasures you have in play.
  • Noble BrigandNoble Brigand.jpg: Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of their deck, trashes a revealed SilverSilver.jpg or GoldGold.jpg you choose, and discards the rest. If they didn’t reveal a Treasure, they gain a CopperCopper.jpg. You gain the trashed cards.
  • FarmlandFarmland.jpg: Trash a card from your hand. Gain a card costing exactly $2 more than the trashed card.
  • StonemasonStonemason.jpg: You may overpay for this. If you do, gain 2 Action cards each costing the amount you overpaid.
  • DoctorDoctor.jpg: You may overpay for this. For each $1 you overpaid, look at the top card of your deck; trash it, discard it, or put it back.
  • MasterpieceMasterpiece.jpg: You may overpay for this. If you do, gain a SilverSilver.jpg per $1 you overpaid.
  • HeraldHerald.jpg: You may overpay for this. For each $1 you overpaid, look through your discard pile and put a card from it on top of your deck.
  • MessengerMessenger.jpg: If this is your first buy in a turn, gain a card costing up to $4, and each other player gains a copy of it.
  • PortPort.jpg: Gain another Port.
  • ForumForum.jpg: +1 Buy.
  • Animal FairAnimal Fair.jpg: Instead of paying this card's cost, you may trash an Action card from your hand.

Events have on-buy effects by default, and are not listed separately here.
