| − | * When you play this, you get +2 Cards and +1 Action, and return it to its [[Supply]] pile.
| |
| − | * When you gain it, you gain another one; this applies whether you gain it via buying it or some other way.
| |
| − | * If you gain one to a place other than your discard pile, the 2nd copy goes to your discard pile. For example if you use {{Card|Sculptor}} to gain Experiment, you get one in your hand, and one in your discard pile.
| |
| − | * If Experiment somehow is not in play (for example if played from the trash via {{Card|Necromancer}}, from {{Set|Nocturne}}), it fails to return to its pile.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Other rules clarifications ===
| |
| − | * If you gain an Experiment from the trash, the second Experiment is still gained from the Supply.
| |
| − | * If you play {{Card|Band_of_Misfits|oi=2|the early version of Band of Misfits}} (from {{Set|Dark Ages}}) or {{Card|Overlord|oi=1|the early version of Overlord}} (from {{Set|Empires}}) as Experiment, you will return the card to its own pile, not to the Experiment pile. However, revisions to these cards means they now work similarly to {{card|Necromancer}}, so now if you use them to play Experiment you get the +2 cards and +1 Action and nothing is returned anywhere.
| |
| − | * If Experiment has no supply pile to return to (i.e., it was acquired via {{card|Black Market}}) it remains in play and will remain in your custody like any other card.

| − | {{Quote
| |
| − | |Text=We tried several versions of this. After a bit as a {{Card|Smithy}} (based on another card that died), it switched to a {{Card|Laboratory|Lab}}, because that way there's usually no tracking (it uses an Action but gives +1 Action, so when it vanishes your play area still tells you the whole story, yes unless you {{Card|Throne Room|Throne}} it or something). For a bit they both went to the same place - e.g. if you used {{Card|Sculptor}} to gain Experiment, both Experiments went to your hand. That was too confusing for how often it came up. There was a version that was two different cards, the first gained you a copy of the second (the second being non-[[supply]]); there was a version that was three one-shot Labs instead of two; there was one that was like {{Card|Border Village}}, it got you a cheaper card instead of another Experiment. In the end it's two one-shot Labs, which it was early on, but with a better wording.

| |
| − | Experiment's cost and effect when played are identical to the non-Supply card {{card|Horse}} from {{set|Menagerie}}. [[Donald X. Vaccarino]] remarked on the similarity:
| |
| − | {{Quote
| |
| − | |Text=If the card had existed, of course it would have been the {{Card|Horse}} version instead of also having a pile of {{Card|Horse}}s called Experiments. Whether or not the card would have existed is too hard to say; in [[Menagerie]] you can do it as an [[Event]], which is different some ways but the reduced number of cards required would beat out any other preferences there.

| |
| − | === Why does this come in pairs? ===
| |
| − | An alternative way of doing Experiment without the bottom text is to have it give +3 Cards when played.
| |
| − | {{Quote
| |
| − | |Text=This possibility did not escape me. It was more interesting to have it be two cards. If I hadn't had the wording I did it might have just ended up as a single "+3 Cards" Horse, but I did have the wording, and got to do the more interesting card. Having them be two cards is different lots of ways.
