Diadem is a Treasure-Prize card from Cornucopia & Guilds. It gives you additional for having extra unused terminal space. It is not in the Supply, and can only be gained by playing a Tournament.
Diadem was removed from the second edition of Cornucopia & Guilds as part of the replacement of Tournament and Prizes with Joust and Rewards.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- When you play Diadem, you get an extra + per unused Action you have. This means Actions, not Action cards. So for example if you play Farming Village (which gives you +2 Actions), then Diadem, Diadem will give you an extra +, for total.
- If you play no Action cards at all on your turn, you will have one unused Action, so you will get total from Diadem.
Other rules clarifications
- It is possible to steal Diadem from another player by using Thief.
- If you play Diadem during your Action phase, such as with Black Market, it does not use up your remaining Actions; it only gives equal to their number.
Strategy
For discussion of Diadem's interaction with Tournament, refer to the Tournament strategy section.
Diadem is usually weak compared to the other Prizes but can be worthwhile in certain specific circumstances. First, its ability to convert a surplus of terminal space into can occasionally be a worthwhile form of payload, e.g. if you are using a lot of villages for effects other than +Actions, or if you have a Champion in play. Second, it is a unique Treasure, which makes it significantly better than a Duchy for scoring with Keep.
