Overgrown Estate is one of the three Shelter cards that players start with instead of Estates in their decks in Dark Ages games. It is a Victory card even though it is worth 0 ; it gives you a small bonus when you manage to trash it.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- This 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
Refer to the Shelter strategy section for overall discussion of strategy for the three Shelters collectively.
Overgrown Estate is often an attractive target for trashing as early as possible, since doing so provides some cycling and is reasonably likely to draw a Copper in the early game, increasing your output that turn. However, it's worth paying attention to cases where this effect could trigger an undesirable shuffle or draw a card dead, in which case it may be better to trash something else. Since Overgrown Estate does have the Victory type, it does interact with some of the same effects as Estate (such as Rebuild and Shepherd), but these are still unlikely to be worth using.
