This is difficult to parse. It it supposed to be "Set this aside..." if played as an action* and "Worth..." if played as a treasure*?
*Which are not real concepts in the rules, see Crown.
I think a better wording would be something like:
In terms of balance, this seems off the chain. Your money increases quadratically; you'll probably end up with 3 Bronzes worth $5 each around turn 5, which is the equivalent of trading all 7 starting copper for 3 platinum. I think you can get $16 on turn 2 (with 2+necropolis/5 opening), which is pretty nuts.

Code: [Select]
If it's your Action phase, set this aside on your Bronze mat. If it's your Buy phase, worth $1 per Bronze on your Bronze mat.

In games using this, when you buy a victory card, trash a card from your Bronze mat.

Setup: Put a Bronze on every player's Bronze mat
