To set aside a card is to place it on the table apart from your play area; such cards are not discarded during Clean-up, and are not considered to be "in play" for any purpose. This can be temporary, or permanent; in either case, if the game ends while you have cards set aside, they are returned to your deck before scores are calculated. Often, cards that set aside themselves and/or other cards will come with mats to help mark the set aside area as special. Setting aside can be used as a way to mark cards as not required for the effect of an Action or Treasure being resolved, as a way to save cards for later use, or as a way to permanently remove a card from your deck without trashing it. Duration cards that were played this turn and left out after Clean-up are not considered set aside, as they are still in play.

Official Rules

  • When a player sets aside a card, he places it face-up on the table (unless otherwise indicated) without following any instructions on the card.
  • An Action that requires a player to set aside cards will instruct him on what to do with these cards.
