'''Venture''' is a [[Treasure]] card from [[Prosperity]]. When played, it is worth {{Cost|1}}; however, it also [[dig|digs]] through your deck for a different Treasure and forces you to play it. In a sense, it is the Treasure [[Peddler variant|equivalent of]] {{Card|Peddler}} - it gives +{{Cost|1}}, and lets you draw and play an extra Treasure.

+
Before it was removed, Venture was a niche [[Kingdom]] [[Treasure]] whose primary use case was in a [[money strategies|money]] deck with no (or very limited) [[draw]] but good {{Card|Copper}} [[trasher|trashing]]. In this case, Venture functions similarly to a [[Peddler variant]], [[cycling]] through your deck to [[dig]] for high-value Treasure cards. Outside this specific scenario, Venture tends to be weak. If you can’t trash {{Card|Copper}}, Venture is often little better than an expensive {{Card|Silver}} and is unlikely to be the best purchase at {{Cost|5}}. On the other hand, if you can draw all your Treasures, Venture becomes an expensive {{Card|Copper}}. Drawing cards is generally much stronger than digging for Treasures with Venture (because you can play [[Action]] cards), so it’s rare to use Venture if draw is an option, except perhaps in [[junk]]-heavy decks.
  
Venture is one of those {{Cost|5}} “{{Card|Silver}}-plus” cards: it’s (almost) guaranteed to be at least worth {{Cost|2}}, but usually provides a little extra.  It does best in high-quality Treasure decks, and therefore works well with {{Card|Hoard}}, {{Card|Platinum}}, {{Card|Mint}}, {{Card|Moneylender}}, {{Card|Spice Merchant}}, and {{Card|Mine}}.  Even {{Card|Loan}} trashing is normally good enough to justify buying Ventures.  But even with high-value Treasures, Venture really depends on some kind of early trashing to get going: without it, it’s hard to justify buying Venture when so much other good stuff is at {{Cost|5}}.  Mine can sometimes be enough to make Ventures the best {{Cost|5}} buy, as can Venture/{{Card|Bank}}.  But in general, the card is too weak if you have too many {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} in your deck.
+
When Venture is playable, how good it is varies depending on how good the available Treasure cards are. Powerful Treasures that you want to make sure to find and play every turn such as {{Card|Platinum}} and {{Card|Bank}} make Venture better, as does the [[Project]] {{Project|Capitalism}}.
  
Assuming you can get the trashing, Venture’s best feature is its chain reaction ability: if you can get to 5 or 6 Ventures and little other Treasure in your deck (a setup most likely achieved via Mint), then playing any Venture will net you at least {{Cost|5}}, and probably singlehandedly get you a Province.

Decks that work well with Venture will also benefit strongly from an {{Card|Adventurer}}, but in most cases, Venture is probably going to be superior. Although it draws only one Treasure instead of two, Adventurer requires an Action to play and it doesn’t chain onto itself. That being said, Adventurer is more helpful early on, when you don’t have enough Ventures in your deck to reliably chain them together. In addition, Adventurer can be {{Card|Throne Room|Throne Roomed}} or {{Card|King's Court|King's Courted}} (to great effect), but Venture cannot.

Venture doesn’t play particularly well with [[Alchemy]] and {{Card|Potion}}.  You’ll rarely want your Ventures to be hitting Potions, since Potion has little place in the kind of [[Big Money]] deck that Venture is best in.  Although it can be good for Potion-grabbing if you’re desperate to keep your {{Card|Alchemist}} chain going, [[Combo: Alchemist and Herbalist]] is a more reliable way to keep the Potions on your deck.

Finally, Venture’s deck-cycling power is usually a good one.  When you’re improving your deck, you want your cards reshuffled as soon as possible.  It’s a bit weaker when you start buying Victory cards (since reshuffling your deck starts to dilute it), but Venture is still helping you find your Treasures amidst the sea of green cards. And it can help you against attacks like {{Card|Ghost Ship}} or {{Card|Bureaucrat}}: just dump your Victory cards on your deck and use Venture to power through them.

Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal a Treasure. Discard the other cards. Play that Treasure.

Venture is a Treasure card from Prosperity. When played, it generates $1 of its own, and also digs through your deck to find and play a different Treasure as well.

It was removed from the second edition of Prosperity and replaced with Crystal BallCrystal Ball.jpg which also interacts with cards on your deck but offers a broader set of options beyond simply playing a Treasure.

[edit] Secret History

This replaced some other treasure midway through development, but never changed. I thought of doing a "when you play this" treasure that drew you a card, and well you'd be sad if the card wasn't a treasure, so it always is.

[edit] Why does Venture immediately play the Treasure?

I do not remember any specifics there. My guess is that it just seemed simpler to play the card, which you were almost always going to do, than to put it into your hand. It's fewer words too. The original concept was a treasure that drew a card; it immediately turned into digging for a treasure since you'd be unhappy to draw an action.
