FAQ

Official FAQ

• This ends your Buy phase and returns you to your Action phase.
• This does not cause "start of turn" abilities to repeat; however when your Buy phase happens again after that, "start of Buy phase" abilities can repeat.

Other rules clarifications

• "Once per turn" applies to the whole Event.
• This counts as ending your Buy phase (for cards like Wine Merchant and Pageant). If you take multiple Buy phases, those cards will trigger multiple times.
• Unlike Cavalry, Launch draws you a card after ending your Buy phase. So if ending your Buy phase makes you put a Treasury onto your deck, you will draw it with Launch.

Secret History

Splitting the difference between Villa and Cavalry. Initially this didn't say "once per turn" and didn't give +1 Buy. It needed the +Buy for players who forget that they can't buy anything in their next buy phase; then since it had that it needed "once per turn." The version with neither was cool, but what can you do.
