FAQ

Official FAQ

• This triggers when you gain an Action card due to buying it, or gain one some other way.
• If it happens during another player's turn, the + and +1 Buy won't be useful.

Other rules clarifications

• If gaining an Action card causes you to play this (e.g. you gain a Courier and play it with Innovation), that won't trigger the Abundance (it triggers off the next Action you gain).

Preview

Abundance is also simple: get an Action, and you get + and +1 Buy. You can save up for a big turn, or just pop it immediately as a warped Workshop.

Secret History

The initial card cost $5, and was "The next time you gain a Victory card, +2 Buys and gain a Loot to your hand." And then it just played the Loot due to certain interactions. For a while I liked this. It was good, but you didn't want it immediately; I like that. It would be a gamble sometimes; will this Loot be +$3 or not. It dropped to +1 Buy because +2 Buys was sure generous. But finally one day there was a round of "fix up the treasures" and this one was targeted. I tried triggering on Actions instead, and just giving you the +$3 instead of gaining a Loot. And was immediately pleased with it.
