It is a [[duration-draw]] attack like {{Card|Enchantress}} that nullifies the first [[Treasure]] each other player plays. This can be a powerful attack against opponents who have trashed their {{card|Copper}} and depend on large treasures like {{card|Gold}} as a source of [[payload]]; against opponents who have Copper to play its effect is more like the –{{Cost|1}} [[Adventures tokens#–1 Coin token|token]]. Unlike most Duration cards, Highwayman is discarded from play at the beginning of your next turn rather than the end, meaning you might be able to draw and play the same copy on consecutive turns. |

* Highwayman does not change anything about the Treasure, just prevents on-play instructions on the card from being carried out. So a blocked {{Card|Fool's Gold}} will still let your other {{Card|Fool's Gold}} make +{{Cost|4}}, and it can still be replayed by {{Card|Specialist}}.

− | * Highwayman overrules effects that change the values of Treasures, | + | * However, Highwayman overrules effects that change the values of Treasures, such as {{state|Envious}} and {{card|Coppersmith}}. If you play a {{Card|Silver}} or {{card|Gold}} that does nothing, {{State|Envious}} has no effect on it. And if you play a {{Card|Copper}} that does nothing, {{Card|Coppersmith}} has no effect on it. |
− | + | * Unlike {{Card|Enchantress}}, this can affect a Treasure that another player plays during your turn. So if you have {{Project|Capitalism}}, and play Highwayman and then another Attack, and another player reacts with a {{Card|Caravan Guard}} to the second Attack, their first Caravan Guard does nothing, and they discard it during your Clean-up phase. | |

* If you play a Treasure ''and then'' an opponent somehow plays Highwayman on the same turn, Highwayman missed its chance; the first Treasure you played has already had its effect and doesn't get revoked, and future Treasures you may play on that turn aren't affected by Highwayman because they're not the first. | * If you play a Treasure ''and then'' an opponent somehow plays Highwayman on the same turn, Highwayman missed its chance; the first Treasure you played has already had its effect and doesn't get revoked, and future Treasures you may play on that turn aren't affected by Highwayman because they're not the first. | ||
