+1 Action At the start of your next turn, +2 Cards. Until then, other players can't play an Action from their hand that they have 2 or more copies of in play. |
Warlord is an Action-Duration-Attack-Clash card from Allies. It penalizes opponents for depending on multiple copies of the same Action card by preventing them from playing a third copy of any given Action once they've already got two in play. It is part of a split pile that it shares with the other Clashes: Battle Plan, Archer, and Territory.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- This doesn't stop players from playing cards that aren't in their hands; for example, Golem (from Alchemy) can still play its two cards, which are set aside, no matter how many copies of them are in play.
- With Warlord affecting you, Throne Room can't play a card from your hand that you have two copies of in play; but Throne can play a card you have one copy of in play, and then can replay that card, even though now you have two copies of it in play.
- This only affects Action cards; it doesn't affect Copper, for example.
Other rules clarifications
- This attack still applies to other players during your turn. So if you play Warlord and then gain a Province, each other player may play up to 2 Black Cats, and no more.
- However, if you play a Warlord (and haven't already played one), other players can react with as many Caravan Guards as they want; the Caravan Guard reaction takes place before the Warlord restriction kicks in.
- The attack ends instantaneously when your next turn starts; you can't choose to execute other start-of-turn abilities while your Warlord's restriction on other players is still in effect. Your if you begin your turn with a Prince playing an Attack, other players can react with as many Caravan Guards as they want even if you haven't taken your +2 cards from Warlord yet.
