Honest Worker 3 Agent Citizen Assassin +1 1/1 ABILITY, SURPRISE : Regain up to 3
What exactly does "up to 3" means?

You regain less than 3 if gaining more would put you over your maximum income, or a maximum of 3 if you it won't put you over your maximum income. Unlike PP which will put you over your maximum income, and therefore always gives you plus 3

So... if you have 3 income and a max. income of 7 (3/7) when you activate HW you gain 3 (you're now 6/7), but if you play him at 6 income you get only 1 (from 6/7 to 7/7)...

If you activate him at 6 out of 7 income you'll only get 7 yes.

There's the difference between 'regain' on honest worker and 'gain' on political patronage.

Still though, has anyone found this card to be an major boost in the early game? If you can play this card and get it out before it's countered, I've seen it make all the difference when the income is too slow.

It's obviously not intended as "early boost" like all the other low cost income boosters, it's a hard worker, not a quick profit it keeps giving throughout the whole game though, it's almost like +6 gold every day, since it's a surprise action.

But as +3 only really has an impact when you are below 10 income I do consider Honest Worker to be an early income booster. I don't even bother using his ability anymore when I'm at 20 income, he then becomes cannon fodder...

Well the definition of "early" is what I define as the first 3 or 5 days. When PP and plentiful drops = earlier bigger drops. After that I consider pretty much mid-game. 20 income yes I agree is late game and the worker becomes a 1/1 fodder
