FAQ
Official FAQ
- This gives +, and then an additional + per other Attack card you have in play.
- Then each other player with 4 or more cards in hand discards a card.
- So for example if you play Soldier, then another Soldier, and have an opponent with 5 cards in hand, you will get + and that opponent will discard a card, then you will get + and an extra + while that opponent discards again.
- Soldier only cares about Attack cards in play, not Attack cards played that turn; for example using Disciple on Soldier will not produce an extra +, because there is no other Attack card in play.
- Duration Attacks played on the previous turn are Attack cards in play and so do count for Soldier.

Secret History
Soldier briefly was a mix of Militia and Ghost Ship; then Soldier and Warrior handed out the -1 Card and - tokens respectively. Later on I had two other attacks using those and decided it would be more fun if these cards did something else. So Soldier is a Militia variant with variable money and Warrior is a Knight variant with variable attack depth.
