Title: play treasures without buying anything
Post by: enepeter on January 05, 2021, 01:56:41 pm

can you play a treasure even if you don't want to buy? I.g. a Coin of the Realm, of anything that you want to have in play?

Yup, there's no requirement that you ever buy a card, or spend all your coin, or anything like that.

Note that there is no connection between the treasures you play and buying a card. You don’t “spend 2 Silvers on a Smithy”. Rather, playing a Silver is just like playing a Festival; it gives you $2 that you can then spend later. Playing treasures does not relate directly to buying cards at all.
