Since (in the absence of [[Shelter|Shelters]]) players do not start the game with any Action cards in their initial decks of 10 cards, a player will usually not have any Actions to play [[opening|during their first 2 turns]]. By default, a player may play only one Action card (since they start their turn with only 1 Action), but [[non-terminal|some Action cards]] grant the player the right to play one [[village (card category)|or more]] additional Actions afterward. It is never mandatory to play an Action card even if you have one in hand; the only exception is when another Action card that you have played instructs you to do so. |

The player may still play an Action card even if he is not able to do everything the Action card tells him to do; but, having played it, the player must follow as much of the card's instructions as they can. Furthermore, the player must fully resolve an Action card before playing another one (if he is permitted to play another Action card) or concluding their Action phase. Any Action cards played remain in the player’s play area until the Clean-up phase of that turn, unless otherwise indicated on the card. The Action phase ends when the player cannot or chooses not to play any more Action cards. Generally, a player can only play Action cards during the Action phase of their turn. |

− | At the beginning of the buy phase, the player may play any number of [[Treasure]] cards from their hand, in any order, to their play area. These usually produce some amount of {{Cost}}, which is added to any {{Cost}} produced by cards played in the Action phase.

In this case, after buying one card, the player may use whatever {{Cost}} they have remaining to buy another, and so on until they exhaust their +Buys; in other words, the amount of {{Cost}} the player has this turn must be divided among all the cards they wish to buy. Some cards in the supply cost {{Cost|0}}; it still uses up a buy, though not any {{Cost}}, to purchase one of these.

To speed play, players may begin their turns while previous players are shuffling and drawing their new hand, though this should be done with a certain amount of discretion, as many cards, such as [[Attack]]s, interact with other players. |

Certain cards have rules which supersede the rules presented here. [[Duration|Duration cards]] remain in play until the turn when they stop doing something. Other cards, such as {{Card|Treasury}}, {{Card|Scheme}}, and {{Card|Herbalist}}, allow you to place cards on top of your Deck when you discard them from play during the Clean-up phase, or have other special effects when discarded from play. [[Reserve]] cards are not necessarily found in the play area when cleaning up on the turn they are played; instead they are found in the play area on the turn they are [[call]]ed. | Certain cards have rules which supersede the rules presented here.

Dominion is rather notable in that, aside from basic setup and the three turn phases, most of the rules are on the cards themselves, so players do not have to memorize much in that regard. However, there are a few rules that must be invoked when complicated interactions between cards crop up. Most casual players will never need to worry about these, but competitive players need to be very much aware of their implications. | Dominion is rather notable in that, aside from basic setup and the three turn phases, most of the rules are on the cards themselves, so players do not have to memorize much in that regard.
