At the start of your next turn, you may play an Action card from your hand three times. |
Mastermind is an Action-Duration card from Menagerie. Like King's Court, it plays an Action card from your hand three times, but it is delayed until the start of your next turn.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- Playing an Action card via this is optional. If you do play one, you resolve the card completely, then play it a second time, then play it a third time, without playing other cards in-between (unless told to by a card).
- Playing these Actions does not use up Action plays. For example, if you Mastermind a Bounty Hunter, you will get +3 Actions total, and be able to play 4 Action cards after that - your normal one, plus 3 more for the +3 Actions.
- If a Mastermind plays a Duration card, the Mastermind stays in play as long as the Duration card does.
- If a Mastermind plays another Mastermind, both will stay in play, and the turn after that you can play three different Action cards from your hand three times each.
- If you Mastermind a Horse, you will get +2 Cards and +1 Action, return the Horse to its pile, get +2 Cards and +1 Action, fail to return the Horse since you already did, and get +2 Cards and +1 Action a third time and fail to return the Horse again.

Trivia
Preview
Here's Mastermind, which is like King's Court but slower. You can King's Court a King's Court in one turn; with Mastermind that's play Mastermind, next turn Mastermind a Mastermind, next turn actually play three things three times.
Secret History
The initial idea was to use Exile to make a new King's Court that could somehow cost . It exiled both itself and the card it played. I was not thrilled with it, and making it a duration was the first new direction I thought of.
Further thoughts by Donald X.
Because playing Masterminds with Masterminds can be confusing, Donald X. was asked if he would change it to "non-Duration Action card."
Not so far. I enjoyed chaining Masterminds. Online an issue is that the program doesn't distinguish your Masterminds. No such problem IRL.
