Landmark text
When you gain an Action card in your Buy phase, if you have a copy of it in play, take 2  from here. Setup: Put 6  here per player.

Colonnade is a Landmark from Empires. It holds a finite number of   tokens, which players take from when they gain an Action that they have a copy of in play.

FAQ

Official FAQ (2021)

• For example with Settlers in play, buying another Settlers gets you 2  from here.
• Cards from the same pile are not necessarily copies of each other; for example Bustling Village is not a copy of Settlers.

Other rules clarifications

• In 2022, Colonnade got errata to care about any Action that was gained in your Buy phase, and not just Actions that were bought.
• You get 2  for each copy of the Action you gain, not for each copy you have in play.
• Before the 2019 Errata, a Band of Misfits or Overlord in play would count as a copy of whichever Action it was emulating (unless its emulation was prevented by an Enchantress). This no longer applies, as under the new rules, the only thing in play is the Band of Misfits or Overlord, rather than the card they are playing.
• If gaining an Action allows you to immediately play it (e.g. you gained a Trail, or you use Innovation), that will let you take 2  from this.
• If you have bought Inheritance, Estates count as Actions on your turn, and therefore will give you 2  when bought with an Estate in play.

Secret History

It was 1  when buying an Action you had in play, then 2 , then 2  with a limited supply of  .

Errata

Basilica and Colonnade are both getting "in your Buy phase" added. I tried for the simplest versions of the cards, and let them be more different to get there, but a bunch of people complained, and while they don't seem super reasonable to me, them being unhappy with this change is real, and the intention was to fix cards not make them as if new cards, and "in your Buy phase" is not the mess that "that you bought" is.
