FAQ
Official FAQ
- 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 Sculptor to gain Experiment, you get one in your hand, and one in your discard pile.
- If you play Band of Misfits (from Dark Ages) or Overlord (from Empires) as Experiment, you will return the card to its own pile, not to the Experiment pile. (This is no longer correct due to the 2019 Errata)
- If Experiment somehow is not in play (for example if played from the trash via Necromancer, from Nocturne), it fails to return to its pile.

Experiment is a one-shot Lab, but you get two of them.
Secret History
We tried several versions of this. After a bit as a Smithy (based on another card that died), it switched to a 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 Throne it or something). For a bit they both went to the same place - e.g. if you used 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 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.
