'''Duplicate''' is an [[Action]]-[[Reserve]] from [[Adventures]].  Only putting itself on your Tavern mat when played, it can be [[call|called]] to [[gainer|gain]] a copy of a card you gain costing up to {{Cost|6}}.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* When you play this, you put it on your Tavern mat. It stays on your mat until you call it. 
* You can call it when gaining a card costing up to {{Cost|6}}, and gain another copy of that card. The gained card comes from the Supply and is put into your discard pile; Duplicate cannot gain non-supply cards such as {{Card|Teacher}} or {{Card|Spoils}}.
* Duplicate can be called during other players' turns when you gain cards; for example, another player might buy {{Card|Messenger}} and choose to have each player gain an {{Card|Estate}}, and you could Duplicate that Estate. 
* You can call multiple Duplicates to gain multiple copies of the same card. 
* Duplicate is discarded during the Clean-up of the turn you call it, whether or not it is your turn.

=== Other rules clarifications ===
* Cards with {{Cost|P}} or {{Debt}} in their cost cannot be Duplicated.
* If you have {{project|Innovation}}, which allows you to play a card immediately on gaining it, you could gain a Duplicate, play it immediately and put it on the Tavern mat, and then call it immediately to gain another Duplicate. This is because when the Duplicate reaches the Tavern mat, you're still within the time window of carrying out effects triggered by gaining the Duplicate.

== Strategy ==
There is no strategy article for Duplicate, but the card has been discussed on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14658.0 forum.]

Duplicate is a gainer that can gain cards up to {{cost|6}}, which is pretty insane. To balance it, it's a [[Reserve]] card, which slows it down a bit and makes it miss more [[shuffle]]s, and it can only gain copies of cards you were already buying or gaining some other way. Its closest relative is probably {{Card|Smugglers}}, except Duplicate copies your own card instead of your opponent's card, and it does so at a moment you prefer, making it more flexible. It can also be compared to {{Card|Talisman}}, which also doubles a card you buy; the differences here are that Duplicate is terminal and doesn't give you money, but it can gain more expensive cards that can also be [[Victory]] cards.

Duplicate is strong in the late game: it can suddenly force a [[three-pile ending]] against unsuspecting opponents, and it can gain a pile of {{Card|Duchy|Duchies}} to take a big lead and/or end the game. However, it is not always easy to see when you need to stack your Duplicates on the Tavern mat and when you call them to gain cards earlier on. Leaving your Duplicates on the mat too often might make you miss other key cards, but always calling Duplicates can lead to terminal [[collision]] late in the game, making you unable to perform the tricks mentioned above.

=== Synergies ===
* {{Card|Champion}}, {{Card|Teacher}} and {{Event|Lost Arts}} solve the issue of Duplicate being [[terminal]]
* Cost reducers, especially {{Card|Highway}}, make gaining {{Card|Province}}s and even {{Card|Colony|Colonies}} possible
* {{Card|Border Village}} and {{Card|Haggler}} make gaining a lot of stuff even easier
* {{Card|Watchtower}}, {{Event|Summon}} and {{Card|Royal Seal}} get Duplicate into play quickly
* {{Card|Duke}} makes gaining Duchies extra strong

|Text=Duplicate duplicates something. That name just tells the whole story. You buy a {{Card|Laboratory|Lab}}; you Duplicate it, two Labs. You gain a {{Card|Gold}} from {{Card|Hero}}; you Duplicate it, two Golds. Whatever you are getting, you probably want more of them. Late in the game, Duplicate {{Card|Duchy|Duchies}}.

=== Donald X.'s opinion ===
{{Quote|Text=
As Mic said sometime, it's what you always wanted {{Card|Smugglers}} to be. It smuggles from yourself, when the time is right, and you can just co-operate with yourself, and get what you wanted.

You really feel how terminal it is; I remember always being conflicted, wanting Duplicate, or another Duplicate, but only being able to play so many actions. And it can miss shuffles, when you don't draw {{Cost|5}} in time. But well, it gets important {{Cost|5}}'s and then later {{Card|Duchy|Duchies}}. Or once in a while {{Card|Province}}s. It's a bargain.
