'''Cavalry''' is an [[Action]] card from {{Set|Menagerie (expansion)|Menagerie}}. When played, it gains {{Card|Horse|Horses}}; when gained during your [[Buy phase]], it returns you to your [[Action phase]], similarly to {{Card|Villa}}.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* When you gain Cavalry in your [[Buy phase]], you get +2 Cards, +1 Buy, and return to your [[Action phase]].
* When you gain Cavalry in a different phase or during another player's turn, you get +2 Cards and +1 Buy.
* +1 Buy is not useful if it is not your turn.
* This ability of Cavalry is not playing the Cavalry, and does not put Cavalry into play.
* Returning to your Action phase does not cause "start of turn" abilities to repeat; however when your Buy phase happens again after that, "start of your Buy phase" abilities can repeat.
* Returning to your Action phase does not give you any +Actions; you have left however many you already had left.
=== Other rules clarifications ===
* if other on-gain effects are due to take place when you gain a Cavalry (e,g,, exchanging the Cavalry for a {{card|Changeling}}, or setting it aside and playing it by the effect of {{project|Innovation}}), you may perform the other on-gain effects before or after taking the +2 Cards, +1 Buy, and returning to your Action phase. 
*However, iIf you gain this, putting it in your discard pile, and then [[reshuffle]] your discard pile while drawing the +2 Cards, they gained Cavalry [[stop-moving rule|can no longer be moved]] by other on-gain effects like {{Card|Changeling}} or {{Project|Innovation}}.
* If you gain this onto your deck (with e.g. {{Event|Demand}}), you will draw the Cavalry itself.
* Returning to your Action phase from your Buy phase; means you never reach the "end" of your Buy phase; this means you cannot discard {{Card|Wine Merchant}}s from your Tavern mat, or pay {{Cost|1}} to {{Project|Pageant}}.

== Strategy ==
=== Synergies/Combos ===
* {{Card|Swashbuckler}}. With {{Card|Treasure Chest}} already on your side, each Cavalry you buy gives you an extra Action phase, so on an extra Gold.
* When used with a [[Gainer]], Cavalry can provide the +Buy for the kingdom.
* When used with {{Project|Innovation}}, the first horse gained can be played immediately, continuing your turn.
* [[Cost reduction]] (e.g. 4 {{card|highway|highways}}) can allow you to buy the whole Cavalry pile for {{cost|0}}, which can be useful for triggering a [[three-pile ending]] or for taking advantage of the on-gain +2 cards in a game-ending [[megaturn]].

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=Sometimes I try to make a new version of a favorite card. This is the new {{Card|Villa}}. {{Card|Villa}} saves you when what you needed was more Actions; this saves you when what you needed was more cards. It didn't change, though there was some noise about, should you get +1 Buy if you gain it in your [[Action phase]], since that's easy to forget. Good luck remembering that. For years I wanted to make a when-gain that drew you cards, and tried some that died; all it took was returning you to your Action phase so you could play them.
