game, set aside a card from

Worth 2 VP per Action card set
aside by this at end of game.
Hey there, fella! Do you want to build a pyramid? Stack a bunch of junk in a heap, put some Action cards in, bake for 15 minutes, serve chilled!
Oh, it doesn't look the way I imagined it to. Well I hope it's tasty enough.
FAQ: You must put a card on Barrows if you can. A copy of Barrows also only counts the Actions that it itself has set aside; you can't buy Colonies for
④ ⑤ all of a sudden, sorry mate. And anyone may look through your set-aside-by-Barrows piles. It's kind of disrespectful to dig through other people's graves though.
If you set aside a Barrows on a Barrows, the Barrows you have in play is worth 2 VP more. The Barrows you have set aside on it is worth 0 VP, because it has not set aside any Action cards.
You might be reminded of Cathedral. Barrows keeps the cards yours, so feel free to put in your Provinces and other cards that you want for scoring purposes. It also triggers at the start of your Buy phase, so you aren't hampered by the limited options your starting hand offers you. I expect it will be much more pleasant to play with than Cathedral later on, but less pleasant than Cathedral early on, because you actually have to draw a card and play it to get cooking. And, well, it costs
④ ⑤.
EDIT: Cost changed from ④ to ⑤.
