Nomads is an Action card from Hinterlands (Second Edition). It replaces the removed card Nomad Camp, and has the same effect as it when played—i.e., it's a terminal silver that provides +Buy—but also gives a $2 bonus when gained or trashed.

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • When you gain or trash this during another player's turn, you still get the +$2, but normally won't be able to use it.

Other Rules clarifications

  • When you gain this in your Buy phase, getting the +$2 will let you take 2VP from Basilica.
  • If you buy Ball, you take your -$1 token, and then if you gain a Nomads, the +$2 will be reduced to +$1.

Preview

Nomad Camp is basically a Woodcutter with a penalty; you don't tend to want it to be gained onto your deck. Woodcutter is already not a very good Woodcutter.

Nomads, now there's a sweet Woodcutter. So often there is some cute trick it can do.

Secret History

An exciting card from Allies that moved here to push the when-gain theme.
