'''Caravan Guard''' is an [[Action]]-[[Duration]]-[[Reaction]] card from [[Adventures]].  It is a delayed [[Peddler variant]], but its {{Cost}}-producing can be sped up by letting you play it when another player plays an Attack.

* If you call {{Card|Royal Carriage}} on Caravan Guard after you play it as a Reaction during another player's turn, it will stay in play until your next turn and give you an extra +{{Cost|1}} at that time, as you would expect.  However, if you call {{Card|Coin of the Realm}}, it will be discarded during the Clean-up phase of the Attacking player's turn, and the +2 Actions it will give you don't do anything for you, as +Action doesn't mean anything when it's not your turn.

* If you react with this against a {{Card|Relic}}, you draw a card, and then you put your -1 Card token on your deck.
 
* If you react with a {{Event|Training|Trained}} Caravan Guard against a {{Card|Bridge Troll}}, and you don't have your -{{Cost|1}} token, you will get +{{Cost|1}} before you take your -{{Cost|1}} token, so you won't be able to remove it. But if you get affected by a different attack afterwards, reacting with a {{Event|Training|Trained}} Caravan Guard will remove your -{{Cost|1}} token.

Another little trick is playing Caravan Guard against non-offensive attacks. If your opponent plays {{Card|Minion}} for the coins, technically they still played an Attack, so you're allowed to drop any Caravan Guards you have on the table. Other examples include {{Card|Giant}} when your opponent's Journey token is facing the wrong way, {{Card|Haunted Woods}} when you don't have any dead cards, or {{Card|Swamp Hag}} when you're not planning on buying anything (because maybe you want to gain cards another way instead, or buy an [[Event]]).

{{Quote|Text=This came out of looking specifically to see if I'd missed some corner of possibilities for [[Duration]]s. This is a Duration that's a round faster if you get [[attack]]ed. The phrasing was an issue; what if you play it on someone else's turn and have a +{{Cost|1}} [[Adventures tokens|token]] on the pile? I decided that playing the card was just way simpler than simulating playing it, and in the end it got some explanatory text.

=== Donald X.'s opinion ===
 
{{Quote|Text= Caravan Guard hasn't gone over as well as I would have liked so far, but I'm still a fan. It's a little lackluster sans attacks, though I still get it some. Against attacks, man, gimme my {{Cost|3}} peddlers.

{{Quote|Text= When you're being attacked a lot, it's a {{Card|Peddler}}, except you get a turn delay if you draw it mid-turn. When you aren't, okay, it's a delayed {{Card|Peddler}} and I mean you can buy it over {{Card|Silver}} like {{Card|Harbinger}} and feel like it's always doing something. I dunno other people are more down on this than I am, but obv. it's way better when they're attacking you.
