FAQ
Unofficial FAQ (2022)
- This happens each time you gain a card in your Buy phase, and works on cards gained via buying them, and cards gained other ways.
- For example with
and 3 Buys, you could buy Copper, then Copper, then Silver, taking 2 , then 2 , then none. And if you play a Cursed Gold, you'll get 2 from the Curse. - You do not get 2 for buying an Event or Project, but if the Event gains you cards (such as Advance), that can let you get from this.
- If you gain a card while you have
, and gaining the card causes you to get + (e.g. you gained a Nomads), that will let you take 2 from this. - If you gain a card that lets you overpay (e.g. Stonemason), you have to pay the extra
before you gain it. This could prevent you from getting the from this.

I suspect strongly that e.g. Basilica is fine; that many games it plays just like it always did, and that the other experience you get sometimes is not game-breaking.
The Basilica change gives us the simpler card it could have always been. Most of the time you do not have Paddock with it; when you do, those games are different, which is fine by me, and I mean there are only 6 per player on Basilica. I understand "change is bad," but this change to Basilica is adding the kind of thing people are bemoaning losing elsewhere. And I mean it's in the name of simplicity.

Errata
Basilica and Colonnade are both getting "in your Buy phase" added. I tried for the simplest versions of the cards, and let them be more different to get there, but a bunch of people complained, and while they don't seem super reasonable to me, them being unhappy with this change is real, and the intention was to fix cards not make them as if new cards, and "in your Buy phase" is not the mess that "that you bought" is.
