'''Workshop''' is an [[Action]] card from the [[Base]] set. It is a [[gainer]], meaning it allows you to gain cards without buying them; it is limited to cards costing up to {{Cost|4}}. It allows you to accumulate lots of cheap cards, which is useful for building an [[engine]] out of cheap parts or for a [[rush]] strategy, but does not directly help buy expensive cards. [[Intrigue]] and [[Dark Ages]] introduce {{Card|Ironworks}} and {{Card|Armory}}, respectively, which are more expensive variants of Workshop with an extra twist.

* You cannot use {{Cost}} to increase how expensive of a card you gain; it always costs from {{Cost|0}} to {{Cost|4}}.
* You cannot use {{Cost|}} from Treasures or previous Actions (like the {{Card|Market}}) to increase the cost of the card you may gain.

=== Other rules clarifications ===
The costs of cards may be reduced by other cards - {{Card|Bridge}}, {{Card|Princess}}, or {{Card|Highway}}. When checking whether you can gain a card with Workshop, you look at its cost as modified by all Bridges and Highways that have been played, not its "original" cost.
+
* Workshop cares about the costs cards have when you play the Workshop, which can sometimes be different than the cost printed on the card. For example, if you play {{Card|Highway}} the cost of {{Card|Duchy}} is [[cost reduction|reduced]] to {{Cost|4}}, and so now you can use Workshop to gain a Duchy.

Workshop is at its best when there are strong {{Cost|3}} and {{Cost|4}} cards that you want a lot of. Typically these cards are [[cantrip|cantrips]] (e.g. {{Card|Merchant}}) or [[Village (card category)|villages]] (e.g. {{Card|Village}} or {{Card|Throne Room}}). However, even when it's good, Workshop is still often a poor choice in the opening, because it is a [[terminal]] stop card that provides no {{Cost}}. This is a major drawback given that affording {{Cost|5}} cards such as {{Card|Sentry}} in the opening is a common goal.  
  
Workshop can be slow, as it is purchased at the opportunity cost of a {{Card|Silver}} or other cards that have more direct effects, but it can result in a larger volume of low-cost cards in the deck by the mid-game than could be bought by coin alone.  Purchasing a workshop usually results in being slower to reach {{Cost|5}} or {{Cost|6}}, as it adds a card to the deck which has no coin value.
+
In the absence of strong targets for Workshop, it’s usually not worth going for. Using Workshop to gain {{Card|Silver|Silvers}} is slow to benefit you, and you’re probably better off just buying the Silver to begin with and using it to buy better cards.  
  
Workshop is typically used to pick up cheap engine pieces, such as {{Card|Village}}, {{Card|Smithy}}, {{Card|Conspirator}}, or {{Card|Caravan}}. It can also be used for a {{Card|Gardens}} or {{Card|Silk Road}} rush, and is one of the best enablers of a Gardens or Silk Road based strategy. It is typically not useful for gaining {{Card|Silver}}, because Silver is most useful as a jumping-off point to higher-priced cards, and the lost tempo from buying a Workshop instead of a Silver is too great to offset any benefit from having more Silvers in the long-run.
+
Workshop is weak compared to other up-to-{{Cost|4}} [[Gainer|gainers]]. {{Card|Ironworks}}, {{Card|Inventor}}, and {{Card|Groom}} are all examples of Workshop variants that have Workshop’s effect plus an extra bonus for {{Cost|4}}, and the bonuses these cards provide give these other variants more use cases than Workshop. However, Workshop can be valuable when it is the only way to gain multiple cards per turn, allowing you to gain engine pieces faster than an opponent with no Workshops and only a single Buy per turn. In such single-Buy [[Kingdom|Kingdoms]], the ability to build faster and gain an {{Card|Estate}} or two near the end of the game can be decisive.
  
Workshop is very weak on boards where the only cards costing up to {{Cost|4}} are cards one wants a limited number of in the deck, even if these cards are strong (e.g. {{Card|Jack of all Trades}}, {{Card|Steward}}).  Workshop is slow for grabbing the first couple copies of a card, but can help you win the race to grab more than half of a certain card (or more than your equal share in a multiplayer game). {{Card|Great Hall}} can be a good target for gains if other more desirable cards run out, but Great Hall alone is not powerful enough to justify a Workshop buy (Compare to {{Card|Monument}} which offers the same VP gain with +{{Cost|2}} as well).  The same goes for other weaker cantrips like {{Card|Spy}} or {{Card|Pawn}}.
+
=== Notable synergies ===
 +
* Villages and good cantrips costing {{Cost|4}} or less
 +
* Cost reduction, e.g. {{Card|Highway}} and {{Project|Canal}}
 +
* Cheap [[alt-VP]], e.g. {{Card|Gardens}}: Gardens is most valuable in a big deck, and Workshop makes gaining Gardens easy. Rarely, Workshop may be enough to enable a [[rush (strategy)|rush]], aiming to [[three-pile ending|pile out]] these cheap alt-VP cards and Workshop.

  • The card you gain comes from the Supply and is put into your discard pile.
  • You cannot use $ to increase how expensive of a card you gain; it always costs from $0 to $4.

  • Workshop cares about the costs cards have when you play the Workshop, which can sometimes be different than the cost printed on the card. For example, if you play HighwayHighway.jpg the cost of DuchyDuchy.jpg is reduced to $4, and so now you can use Workshop to gain a Duchy.

Workshop is at its best when there are strong $3 and $4 cards that you want a lot of.

[edit] Secret History

The very first version of this card was "+1 Action. -1 Buy. Gain a card costing up to 3." Hey, "-1 Buy," what's up with that? I was trying to design a card explicitly for a moneyless deck. It worked too - once in a while. Most games it was unplayable. Everyone hated it but me. Eventually I relented and dropped the -1 Buy. That version was still too narrow and well you know what it looks like now.

[edit] Donald X.'s opinion

Workshop is great, you heard it here. It's +$4 +1 Buy that you can't combine. That's not exciting when you're trying to hit $8 or even $5, but it's fantastic when you want $4's. You want $4's so often. Villages are the big thing, then other strong cantrips.
