The Ward is played in the moment (rules rev 31)

Browse Source 
'When a player picks up one of your treasures, you may play at that
time (out of turn) this card on him' — the owner read the card and is
right: no arming ahead. When a treasure whose owner holds WARD is
grabbed, the grab hangs (new wardPending phase, outranking all other
input) and the owner alone answers: spring it (3 damage, card spent)
or let them go (card kept, silence). Automatons always spring it on a
thief of their gold. The arming mechanic is refused at rev 31 and its
button hidden; rev 3-30 games keep their armed wards and rev 1-2 keep
the automatic spring, replaying unchanged. The window does reveal that
the owner holds SOMETHING - as it would at any real table when the
room turns to look at them.
