At the start of your next turn, discard this from play and +3 Cards. Until then, the first Treasure each other player plays each turn does nothing. |
Highwayman is an Action-Duration-Attack card from Allies. It is a duration-draw attack like Enchantress that nullifies the first Treasure each other player plays. This can be a powerful attack against opponents who have trashed their Copper and depend on large treasures like Gold as a source of payload; against opponents who have Copper to play its effect is more like the - token. Unlike most Duration cards, Highwayman is discarded from play at the beginning of your next turn rather than the end, meaning you might be able to draw and play the same copy on consecutive turns.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- You draw the 3 cards even if Highwayman can't be discarded from play; for example, if you Throne Room a Highwayman, you'll only discard it once but will draw 6 cards.
- Discarding Highwayman happens first, so it's possible to even draw that Highwayman with the +3 Cards.
- The attack stops each other player's first Treasure from doing anything, each turn; if they take extra turns, every turn is affected. For example, if their first played Treasure is Copper, it produces no .
- This isn't cumulative; if multiple players play copies of Highwayman, or one player plays multiple copies of it, still only one Treasure per turn does nothing.
- The Treasure does nothing even if it's also an Action, e.g., Crown (from Empires).
- This stops the Treasure from doing what it does when played, but doesn't stop abilities below a dividing line, like Capital's (from Empires).
- If the Treasure is also an Action, a Way (from Menagerie) can still be used on it, and Enchantress (from Empires) can still work on it; the player who played the Treasure decides which effect applies.
Other Rules clarifications
- Playing a Treasure still activates abilities of other cards. For example, if you play a Silver that does nothing, you may still trash a card with Sauna.
- If you play this with Throne Room, then when Highwayman discards itself from play, the Throne Room will remain in play until Clean-up.
- Unlike Enchantress, this can affect a Treasure that another player plays during your turn. So if you have Capitalism, and another player reacts with a Caravan Guard, it does nothing, and they discard it during your Clean-up phase.
- If you play a Scheme at the start of your turn (with e.g. Royal Galley), you may put Highwayman onto your deck when you discard it from play with its own ability (and you will immediately draw the Highwayman back).
- If you play a Silver or Gold that does nothing, Envious has no effect on it. And if you play a Copper that does nothing, Coppersmith has no effect on it.
- If you play an Action card that gives +, and then buy Capitalism in the same turn, that Action card doesn't count as the first Treasure you played this turn.
