+3 Cards You may gain a Silver. This has the same cost as the last other card gained this turn, if any. |
Wayfarer is an Action card from Menagerie. It is a terminal draw card that can optionally gain a Silver. It costs by default, and resets to that cost at the start of each turn. However, the costs of all Wayfarers change to copy the cost of the last gained card. For example, if you do gain a Silver when playing a Wayfarer, Wayfarers then cost .

Other Rules clarifications
- Cards like Bridge that reduce the cost of Wayfarer apply before Wayfarer copies the cost of the last card gained. For example:
- If you gain a Silver and then play Bridge, Wayfarer costs because that's what Silver costs; Bridge does not further reduce Wayfarer's cost to .
- If you gain a Silver and then play Quarry, Wayfarer costs because that's what Silver costs and Quarry does not affect the cost of Silver.
- If you move your –2 Cost token to the Wayfarer pile (via Ferry) and gain a Silver, Wayfarer costs because that's what Silver costs; the –2 Cost token does not affect the cost of Silver.
- If the cost of the last card gained changes after it was gained, the cost of Wayfarer changes too. For example, if you gain a Peddler when it costs , and then play 2 Action cards, Peddler and therefore Wayfarer both now cost .
- The cost of Wayfarer can change while resolving other cards. For example, if you play Stonemason and trash a Wayfarer which costs , you then gain a cheaper card such as Duchy which costs ; then you gain a second second card costing less than Wayfarer which now costs .

The other minor theme is cards with weird costs; there are four of these, including Animal Fair. Wayfarer's weird cost is whatever the previous card cost. You could play Bureaucrat, gain a Silver, then Wayfarer costs . Or with two Buys, buy a Copper, now Wayfarer costs . Or buy an Engineer for and well now Wayfarer costs .
