FAQ
Official FAQ
- This card gives you two separate choices: first you either discard 2 cards, put a card from your hand on top of your deck, or gain a Copper; after resolving that, you either get +, trash your hand, or gain a Duchy.
- For example, you might choose to discard 2 cards, then gain a Duchy.
- Gained cards come from the Supply and are put into your discard pile.
- You can choose an option even if you cannot do it.
- If you trash multiple cards that do something when trashed at once, trash them all, then choose an order to resolve the things that happen due to them being trashed.

Strategy Article
There isn't a strategy article for Count; if you have an idea for how to use Count, post it on the forums! As Dark Ages is still new, there's still much to explore.
Count can be a good trasher, since it can trash either your whole hand or your whole hand minus one or two cards. Certainly a top-notch opening on a / start, since then it would trash almost as fast as Chapel. It is not so good for trashing incoming Curses, since you have to either discard or trash all the cards in your hand.
It's a reasonable source of terminal money, at +, assuming you don't mind one of the penalties. Good for both Big Money, where putting a card back would give a Courtyard-like effect, or for engines.
Gaining a Duchy can be used to great effect in the endgame, or in a Duke game.
Synergies/Combos
- Duke
- Gardens and Silk Road, possibly? Count can gain 2 cards in one turn, a Duchy and a Copper. But it costs , so might be too hard to get enough Counts soon enough to enable an Alt-VP rush.
- Rebuild. Gain Duchies with Count, and then Rebuild them into Provinces.
