Editing Exile

[[Image:Exile mat.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The Exile player mat.]]

'''Exile''' is a place to put cards that was introduced in {{Set|Menagerie}}. If there are any cards in the [[Kingdom]] that use Exile, give an Exile [[mat]] to each player. When you Exile a card, you put it on your Exile mat. Exiling a card is not gaining it or trashing it. Cards on your Exile mat are yours, regardless of whether the card was yours before it was put there (e.g. Exiling a card from the [[Supply]] makes that card yours). When you gain a card, you may discard all the other copies of it you have in Exile. You cannot discard only some of the copies; you must either discard all of them, or none of them.

== List of cards ==
There are 8 [[Kingdom]] cards and 6 [[landscape]]s that use Exile:
* {{Cost|3}}: {{Card|Camel Train}}, {{Card|Stockpile}}, {{Event|Transport}}
* {{Cost|4}}: {{Event|Banish}}, {{Card|Bounty Hunter}}, {{Card|Cardinal}}, {{Event|Invest}}
* {{Cost|5}}: {{Card|Coven}}, {{Card|Displace}}, {{Card|Gatekeeper}}, {{Card|Sanctuary}}
* {{Cost|8}}: {{Event|Enclave}}
* Ways: {{Way|Way of the Camel}}, {{Way|Way of the Worm}}

== Official Rules ==
=== Preparation ===
* In games using cards that refer to Exile, give each player an Exile mat.

=== Exile ===
Menagerie has Exile mats that cards can go on. Each player gets one.
* "Exile a card" means, put it on your Exile mat.
* "Cards in Exile" are the cards on your mat.
* Cards on your mat are yours; at the end of the game, include them when scoring.
* The cards on Exile mats are face up and public.
* When you gain a card, you may discard the other copies of it from your mat. For example, if you have two {{Card|Silver|Silvers}} on your mat, and gain a {{Card|Silver}}, you may discard the two {{Card|Silver|Silvers}} from your mat - they go to your discard pile. You can leave them on the mat instead. You cannot discard just one of them.
* Exiling a card from the [[Supply]] is not "gaining" the card, and will not cause "when you gain this" abilities to happen.
* Discarding a card from your Exile mat is not gaining it either.
* Discarding a card from your Exile mat is discarding a card; if it happens other than in Clean-up, it can trigger {{Card|Tunnel}} (from {{Set|Hinterlands}}) or {{Card|Village Green}}.

== Trivia ==
=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text=There were two ideas waiting to be used, from when working on {{Set|Renaissance}}. First, the Jail [[mat]]. This was a mat cards could put cards onto, and then it had a built-in rule that let you get the cards back when gaining another copy of whichever card. This mat and the associated cards had been good, but I didn't want more mats in Renaissance. At one point it had four mats; in the end it has one that does double duty. So I saved this for next time, and well, it was next time. So this went right into the set and had good cards right away. Eventually I renamed it to Exile, because I wasn't looking to make a wild west expansion, which is what "jail plus horses" sure suggested. "Exile" was nice because you can use it as a verb too, and it made at least some sense for a medieval game.

=== Exiling Victory cards ===

The experience of not getting to exile VP is an experience you get in every game without those cards. Now we also get to have the experience of exiling VP.

For me Exile was a slam dunk, an excellent mechanic. It created some really novel cards.

Complaints about "you can exile VP" are just like when people said "nothing should ever cost {{Cost|7}}." The game hasn't lost "there's nothing that costs {{Cost|7}}"; most games, there isn't. You still get the joy of "oh no I'm drawing Victory cards" in most games; now you also get another experience sometimes. If the experience of "you can exile VP" sucked then sure it would be bad for whatever those reasons are. But it is not made bad just because it changes something sacred-looking. And yet some people view it that way.

At this point a lot of {{Card|Province}}s have been exiled, and the loud voices on the internet have been pretty positive. If I want to please those players, for sure Exile was the move. You can't please everyone, and it's great if you ever manage to please as great a percentage as Exile does.

=== Exiling isn't gaining ===
{{Quote
|Text=They were never gained (in Menagerie or Renaissance). It's not gaining so I didn't make it gaining. I don't want something to "count as" something else if I can avoid it. The cards could have said "gain it and exile it" but then a lot of effects can squeeze in there and make off with the card. So they don't.
