+1 Action Choose one: Trash an Action card from the Supply, or gain an Action card from the trash. |
Lurker is an Action card from the second edition of Intrigue. It's an unorthodox gainer that allows you to gain Action cards out of the trash, and allows you to set up future plays by putting Actions in the trash. That means if you can play Lurker twice in one turn, you can have any Action of your choice!
It also can enable interesting combos with Dark Ages cards that have effects when you trash them—for example, if Cultist is in the supply, Lurker can be the equivalent of two Laboratories.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- The card trashed or gained has to be an Action card, but can have other types too. For example Lurker can trash Nobles from the Supply and can gain Nobles from the trash.
- When gaining a card with Lurker, put the gained card into your discard pile.
Other Rules clarifications
- When you trash a card from the supply that has a special effect when trashed, the on-trash effect activates. However, trashing from the supply does not allow you to react with Market Square.

Secret History
I needed a new , since my new Reaction was going to cost . I also needed an interactive card to replace Tribute. Somehow I hit on this half-Workshop. Trashing from the Supply never worked before (except on Salt the Earth and Gladiator, from around the same time period), but this time it did. The card originally didn't have +1 Action but needed that; one nice thing is, now you can just play two Lurkers to get whatever you want. The player interaction is great. Some people will put good stuff in the trash despite the risk that you'll get to it first; some will refuse, but still get a Lurker to try to leech off of you. Good cards find their way into the trash other ways for you too - Intrigue itself has Swindler, Upgrade, Replace, and Mining Village.
