FAQ

Official FAQ

  • Anything that causes you to reveal a Patron, and specifically uses the word "reveal," causes you to get +1 Coffers.
  • For example if you play a Border Guard and reveal two Patrons, you will get +2 Coffers.
  • Other players seeing a card, without the word "reveal" being used, is not enough; for example if another player plays a Villain and you discard a Patron, you do not get +1 Coffers.

Other rules clarifications

  • Once Patron is revealed, getting +1 Coffers is not optional.
  • If you play Black Market and Patron is one of the 3 cards revealed from the Black Market deck, you get +1 Coffers

Trivia

Official card art.

Patron is the only card to use quotation marks in its English text, and along with Capitalism the only card-shaped thing to care about the text on cards. It is also the only Reaction whose trigger is being revealed.

Secret History

The first version had a two-sided State (it was a Cathedral that turned into a Cargo Ship for Treasures if you trashed a $5+ card). When those went away, I preserved the top and added the reaction. I fiddled with the wording some, to try to make it clear, but the idea stayed the same.
—Donald X. Vaccarino, The Secret History of Dominion: Renaissance
