Dominion: Envoy Promo Card

About this expansion

Dominion: Envoy Promo Card is a promotional action card for 2–4 players, from the Dominion series, with games typically lasting 30 minutes. Released in 2008, it adds the Envoy card to the Dominion experience.

When played, Envoy reveals the top five cards of your deck. The player to your left chooses one of those cards, and you discard the chosen card while putting the rest into your hand.

Envoy costs 4 coins and creates a distinctive interaction during play. You reveal several cards, but another player determines which one is discarded, leaving the remaining cards available to draw. The card’s revised text, introduced in 2017, clarifies this sequence.

• Type: Action
• Cost: 4 coins
• Effect: Reveal the top five cards of your deck; the player to your left chooses one to discard, and you draw the rest
• Players: 2–4
• Play time: 30 minutes

This promo card was given to visitors of a gameplay festival in Vienna in 2008, making it the first additional card for the German edition of Dominion. The English edition was distributed by The BGG Store beginning in March 2009, along with the Black Market Promo Card.

As part of the Dominion series, Dominion: Envoy Promo Card offers a compact addition centered on revealing cards, an opponent’s choice, discarding, and drawing.
