FAQ

Official FAQ

• Kiln can gain any type of card, as long as the card is played directly after Kiln.
• It can only gain cards from the Supply.
• You (optionally) gain a copy of the card before following the instructions on the card.
• If the card is an Attack and other players want to use cards like Moat, you gain the card before they choose to use Moat or not.
• If you Throne Room a Kiln, you will play Kiln, play Kiln again, first gaining a Kiln (optionally), and then can still gain a copy of the next card you play after that.
• If the next card you play is an Action and you use a Way for it, that has no special interaction with Kiln; you still may optionally gain a copy of that card.

Other Rules clarifications

• If you play a Stockpile after a Kiln, you gain a Stockpile first, may discard Stockpiles from Exile, and then you Exile your played Stockpile.
• If you have a +1 Card token on the card you played, you can get +1 Card before or after gaining a copy.
• If you Throne Room a Kiln and gain a Kiln, you can react with Sheepdog, but since you haven't resolved Kiln a second time yet, you won't gain a copy of Sheepdog.
• If you play Kiln, play Conspirator, gain a 2nd Conspirator and play it with Innovation, both Conspirators will give +1 Card and +1 Action.

Preview

Kiln is another in the long line of Explorers. It most easily gains Treasures, but if you can play an Action after it, you can gain a copy of that, and it can even gain Night cards.

Secret History

The only change here was adding "first," as people want to reach right over and take their card.
