Courier is an Action card from Allies. It allows you to play a Treasure or Action card from your discard pile.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• First discard your top card, shuffling if needed. Then look through your discard pile, and you may play an Action or Treasure from it.

Other rules clarifications

• You resolve any effects from discarding the top card of your deck before you look through your discard pile. So if this discards a Tunnel, you can play the Gold that you gained from it.
• If you have an empty discard pile after discarding the top card of your deck (e.g. you discard a Village Green, play it, and that makes you shuffle), you can't play any card.

Secret History

Originally you discarded 3 cards, then played something from your discard pile. This was nuts. You just desperately want all of the Couriers. Kevin White demonstrated this, and I scaled it back.

Name

I felt free to put "Courier" into the main set where Harbinger is (and it took me until making Allies to bother reprinting my Couriers as Harbingers). There was enough anti-that sentiment that I didn't at the time, but I knew its day would come.
