Card text
+ This turn, when you gain a card, add a token here. At the start of your next turn, remove them for +1 Card each.

Garrison is an Action-Duration-Fort card from Allies. It provides duration draw on the next turn proportional to the number of cards you gain on this turn.

It is part of a split pile that it shares with the other Forts: Tent, Hill Fort, and Stronghold.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• This can only have tokens on it if it's in play; if it leaves play, it has no tokens.
• You can use coin tokens for this; on Garrison they have no other meaning, they're just tokens on Garrison.
• If you Throne Room Garrison and then gain 3 cards, it will get 6 tokens total, and you'll draw 6 cards next turn, not 12, as you can only remove the tokens once.

Other rules clarifications

• If Garrison doesn't have any tokens on it (i.e. because you didn't gain any cards after playing it), you discard Garrison from play during Clean-up.
  • This means you can Improve the Garrison if you haven't yet gained any cards this turn, since it is due to get discarded from play. Improve will then gain a card, but since Garrison is no longer in play, you can't put tokens on Garrison, so you won't draw cards next turn.
• If you play Garrison with a card like Band of Misfits, it's not in play, so you can't put any tokens on it. In contrast, Haven and Cargo Ship can set aside a card even if they're not in play, because their "(on/under this)" wordings are only for player convenience.

Secret History

Before Garrison, versions of Royal Galley were here, plus a reaction you could play when an Action gave you + or more. Garrison started out as its own pile, making + and +1 Buy this turn (for ). Then it made + next turn instead of +Cards, and after a while left due to having too many +Buy cards. It tried again as a treasure and then here it is. It removes the tokens so that it doesn't multiply if you have two of them.
