FAQ
Official FAQ
- The card you gain is put into your Discard pile.
- It has to be a card from the Supply.
- You cannot use coins from Treasures or previous Actions (like the Market) to increase the cost of the card you may gain.
Other Rules clarifications
The costs of cards may be reduced by other cards - Bridge or Highway. When checking whether you can gain a card with Workshop, you look at its cost as modified by all Bridges and Highways that have been played, not its "original" cost.

Trivia
Secret History
The very first version of this card was "+1 Action. -1 Buy. Gain a card costing up to 3." Hey, "-1 Buy," what's up with that? I was trying to design a card explicitly for a moneyless deck. It worked too - once in a while. Most games it was unplayable. Everyone hated it but me. Eventually I relented and dropped the -1 Buy. That version was still too narrow and well you know what it looks like now.
