| |
|
| |
|
| Playing a card that provides '''+Buy''' increases the number of cards you are allowed to buy during your [[buy phase]].
| |
|
| |
| Some cards that give +Buy have it as part of their core function, such as {{Card|Herbalist}}; usually the +Buy is the only reason for wanting a {{Card|Herbalist}}. In some cases, a card offers +Buy as a feature that synergizes with its core function: {{Card|Collection}} offers you a {{VP}} reward per card you buy, and gives +Buy to make the reward go farther. Other cards have +Buy merely as an extra [[vanilla]] bonus that keeps the card competitive with other cards at the same cost: {{Card|Worker's Village}} is a [[village (card category)|village]] costing {{Cost|4}} with the +Buy as an extra bonus for the {{Cost|1}} it costs more than {{Card|Village}}.
| |
|
| |
| ==Strategy==
| |
| +Buy is an essential component of most [[engine]] strategies, since engines can take a long time to build; +Buy allows you to acquire engine components more rapidly, thus speeding up the construction of the engine, and once the engine is running it allows you to buy multiple [[Victory]] cards at once to make up for the slower start. An easy trap to fall into is that of "overbuilding" an engine in the absence of +Buy: there's no use in building a deck that can regularly generate {{Cost|16}} each turn if you can still only buy one {{Card|Province}} with it. In some cases, if the +Buy card is rather unwieldy like {{Card|Herbalist}}, it is good strategy to wait to buy even a relatively cheap +Buy card ''until'' you are close to generating enough {{Cost}} to benefit from the effect, although you need to avoid waiting too long as well or else you will have to waste {{Cost}} on the turn you buy that card.
| |
|
| |
| If you are lacking the deck control to generate large amounts of {{Cost}} or to assure having a +Buy card in hand when you do, a +Buy card may not be worth its [[opportunity cost]].
