FAQ
Official FAQ
- This is a Shelter; see Preparation.
- It is never in the Supply.
- It is a Victory card despite being worth 0 .
- If this is trashed, you draw a card, right then, even in the middle of resolving another card. For example, if you use Altar to trash Overgrown Estate, you first draw a card, then gain a card costing up to .
- This card does not give you a way to trash itself, it merely does something if you manage to trash it.
Other Rules clarifications
- When an Overgrown Estate is revealed when playing Ambassador, it is not returned to the Supply (since it is not in the Supply) and opponents do not gain a copy of it.
- If you buy a Farmland and trash an Overgrown Estate, you immediately draw a card. However, even if the drawn card is a treasure, you are unable to play it since you must play all treasure before you buy a card.
Strategy Article
General Shelters strategy is on the Shelters page.
Trash it when you can! It replaces itself in your hand.
Synergies/Combos
- With one- or two-card trashers (Remake, Bishop, Steward, etc.) trashing the Overgrown Estate can let your current turn be just a little bit better than if it were an Estate.
Antisynergies
- The effect is least noticeable with multi-card trashers like Chapel and Count - if you've trashed everything in your hand, drawing one card from the Overgrown Estate won't let you do anything with your turn anyway.

Secret History
Shelters: Tom Lehmann suggested replacing starting Estates with something else, to make the environment feel more Dark Ages-y. I thought this was a great idea. Ruins obv. doesn't work, because some people would make out, unless we picked specific ones. And Curse isn't very interesting. But I could just make up three new cards, which is what I did. Necropolis shakes up early turns, since you can stomach more in the way of terminal actions; Overgrown Estate gives you a little prize if you crack it open eventually; and Hovel tempts you into buying a victory card when you might not have.
