| * What matters is how much a card actually costs when you gain it.

− | * {{Card|Alchemist}}, {{Card|Familiar}}, and {{Card|Golem}} do not cost either {{Cost|3}} or {{Cost|4}}.
| |
− | * Galleria cares about the cost a card has at the moment you gain it, even if the cost changes. So if you gain a {{Card|Destrier}} when it costs {{Cost|5}}, that won't count for Galleria (even though gaining the Destrier reduces its own cost to {{Cost|4}}). But if you gain a {{Card|Destrier}} when it costs {{Cost|3}} (reducing its cost to {{Cost|2}}), that will make Galleria give +1 Buy.
| |
− | * If gaining a card costing {{Cost|3}} or {{Cost|4}} causes you to play a Galleria (e.g. you gained a {{Card|Gondola}}), that will let Galleria give you +1 Buy.

− | Galleria is a card that can mislead inexperienced players. It is usually exceptionally weak if you use it directly to buy a card to trigger the +Buy. By forcing you to buy a card costing 3 or 4 in order to get the +Buy, but only giving you +{{Cost|3}}, it is like a weak {{Card|Workshop}}: if you buy a card costing {{Cost|3}}, it is equivalent to Workshop, but if you buy a card costing {{Cost|4}}, it is worth -{{Cost|1}}. At a price point of {{Cost|5}}, which is {{Cost|2}} more than Workshop, it is extraordinarily overpriced when used in this way. Just buying Galleria and using it to gain multiple cards costing {{Cost|3}} or {{Cost|4}} is usually a losing strategy.

− | The strength of Galleria lies in a different usage of it: it functions as a terminal gold in its own right, and is cheaper than gold. Sometimes this usage alone can make it worth buying, as it is often the fastest way to reach a high amount of purchasing power. But in addition to this, its +Buy can be triggered by any gaining, not just gaining through buying. The tricky part, however, is that this combination must be triggered by playing Galleria first.

− | Galleria tends to be strongest in games where there is abundance of actions, such as in the presence of cards like {{Card|Fishing Village}}. In this case, its value as a terminal gold cheaper than gold can make it worth buying on its own. An abundance of +Actions can also increase the chance of triggering some sort of combo, such as in a deck drawing engine, by playing it first and then playing or triggering a gainer to activate the +Buy. {{Card|Bridge}} can synergize with Galleria, but since both cards are terminal it can be hard to set up this combo on most boards.
