Borrow is rather straightforward: you get an extra coin to spend this turn, but you'll draw one card less next turn. On average, a card is worth more than a coin, so it's definitely not a deal you should make every turn. However, if you absolutely need a certain key card early on, Borrow can be very useful. For example, it can mitigate the negative effects of opening {{cost|4}}/{{cost|3}} on a board with {{Card|Mountebank}} or {{cost|5}} cost Trashers such as {{Card|Junk Dealer}} and {{Card|Count}}. It can also help you to hit {{cost|3}}{{cost|P}} for {{Card|Familiar}} on the second shuffle. Late-game, especially in [[Big Money]] games, hitting {{cost|7}} is not as big of a disadvantage anymore, since you can just Borrow to hit {{Card|Province}}.

In games with {{Card|Militia}}s, it's tempting to constantly Borrow. Take that, {{Card|Minion}}. But it's a combo with {{Card|Minion}} too, so it evens out.

Borrow is an Event from Adventures. It gives the buyer +$1 now at the cost of card draw later.

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • You can only buy this once per turn.
  • When you do, if your -1 Card token is not on your deck, you put it on your deck and get +$1.
  • The -1 Card token will cause you to draw one less card the next time you draw cards; see the Tokens section.

Other rules clarifications

  • You do not get +$1 if you buy Borrow when your -1 Card token is already on your deck.

Strategy

There is no strategy article for Borrow, but it has been discussed on the forum.

Borrow is rather straightforward: you get an extra coin to spend this turn, but you'll draw one card less next turn. On average, a card is worth more than a coin, so it's definitely not a deal you should make every turn. However, if you absolutely need a certain key card early on, Borrow can be very useful. For example, it can mitigate the negative effects of opening $4/$3 on a board with Mountebank or $5 cost Trashers such as Junk Dealer and Count. It can also help you to hit $3P for Familiar on the second shuffle. Late-game, especially in Big Money games, hitting $7 is not as big of a disadvantage anymore, since you can just Borrow to hit Province.
