Place the Treasure cards, Victory cards, Curse cards and the Trash card in every game. Together with 10 Kingdom card piles, they form the Supply: the cards you can buy.

Treasure cards

• Copper60 minus starting decks
• Silver40
• Gold30

Victory cards

• Estate1 VP
• Duchy3 VP
• Province6 VP

Curse cards & Trash card

Curses are worth -1 point and are mostly handed out by Attacks like Witch. The Trash card marks where trashed cards go, out of the game.

Choose 10 different Kingdom cards and put a pile of 10 of each in the Supply. A Kingdom card that is also a Victory card, like Gardens, uses 8 with 2 players and 12 with 3–4.
