Project
$12
Set aside a non-Victory Action card from the supply next to this and place your project cube on it.

When scoring +2VP per card you have from that pile.
Notes
- Not happy with the wording regarding the scoring but I am trying to imply that if this is put on a split pile all cards in that pile score 2 points each.
- The non victory clause is to prevent a player claiming the Castles pile by setting aside one that is also an action.
- I am a bit unsure of the pricing for this. For the number of points it can potentially score without adding cards that clog your deck it needs to be expensive. I feel it has to be more then Colony but other than that I am not sure.
I don't think this is really worth the price. You need a LOT of cards from a given pile to justify spending $12 on it imo.
In the common case where a 10-card pile runs out, you'll get 10 VP if you split the pile 5-5 (so it's a marginally more expensive Colony that doesn't give you a dead card in your deck), or 12 VP if you win the split 6-4. (I suppose the set-aside card also gives 2 VP?) In either case, you have to buy Gentrification before the pile has emptied.
So I think this is competitively priced if you tie or win any Action pile split.
The best-case scenario is setting aside Rats - you'll rapidly get 40 VP.
