FAQ
Official FAQ
- This increases the number of cards you draw in Cleanup of the same turn.
- It is cumulative.
- Normally you draw 5 cards; after an Expedition you would draw 7, after two Expeditions you would draw 9, and so on.
- It only applies for the turn you buy it.
- If you play Outpost (from Seaside), getting an extra turn with only 3 cards, and also buy Expedition, you add the 2 extra cards onto the base of 3 cards, for 5 cards total.
Strategy
There is no strategy article for Expedition yet, as Adventures is the newest expansion, and the community is still discussing how best to use it. If you have ideas, please share them on the forum!
Since Expedition increases your hand during Clean-up, most handsize attacks played by other players will almost completely nullify the Expeditions you bought, making this Event a risky purchase when such cards are available.

Preview
Expedition is an example of a very simple Event. You get two more cards in your next hand. Maybe you'd rather have Silver; it's hard to say, man I don't even know you. Sometimes though I bet you'll want the cards. So, to be clear here: with Expedition in the game, you can, in your Buy phase, pay and use up a Buy, to make that thing happen, the extra 2 cards for your next hand. If you had and 2 Buys, you could go on two Expeditions, and have 4 extra cards in your next hand. Or buy a Silver and one Expedition. And so on. Expedition itself just sits on the table with the kingdom cards, reminding you that you can do this this game.
Secret History
Another obvious one. It always seems cute to draw extra cards for your hand at end-of-turn, but there is the issue of that sucking vs. Militias, and of remembering it. An Event is the perfect way to do it.
