Title: Alms with Spoils
Post by: vsiewnar on April 26, 2015, 08:41:17 pm
When Spoils are played, they return to their respective pile.

Does this mean that if there is a turn where, say, two Spoils are played (and there are two buys) then one can buy something with the coin from Spoils and still beg Alms (since the Spoils are no longer in play)?

This may be an elementary question but there was some discussion among my group of friends about this and we seek clarification.

Thanks in advance for contributing.

Alms only cares if you have treasures in play at the moment you buy it (ditto Grand Market and Coppers). So you can for example buy a Mint and then an Alms, or play two Spoils but no other treasures and then buy Alms.
