When scoring, pair up your Favors with cards you have costing $2, for 2 VP per pair.

Plateau Shepherds is an Ally from Allies. It allows you to use $2 cards as a source of alt-VP if you accumulate Favors.

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • For example, if you have five Favors, two Estates, and a Moat, you can make three pairs, for 6VP.

Other Rules Clarifications

  • Cards must cost exactly $2 to count, which means that Apothecary can't be paired with a Favor.
  • Most forms of cost reduction (e.g. Bridge) have no effect when scoring. However, Cheap cards still cost $1 less when scoring, which may matter for Plateau Shepherds, and Flourishing Trade remains in effect, which definitely matters.

Strategy

Can lead to a rush strategy if Bauble appears in the kingdom.
