Card text
Trash a card from your hand.
Choose one: +$1; or trash this to reveal your hand for +1 VP per differently named Treasure there.

Investment is a Treasure card from the second edition Prosperity. It is a trasher that also allows you to trash itself for a one-shot  VP bonus.

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • You trash a card no matter what; it's okay if Investment was your last card in hand, you just fail to trash a card then.
  • Then you choose either to get +$1, or to trash Investment.
  • If you trash it, you reveal your hand and get +1 VP per differently named Treasure there; for example if you reveal two Coppers and a Silver, you get +2 VP.
  • You can still play the revealed Treasures after resolving Investment.

Other rules clarifications

  • If you play the same Investment twice (e.g. with Crown) and trash it on the first play for  VP, then you can't trash it on the second play for  VP.

Trivia

Official card art.

Preview

Right, Loan, so, Crystal Ball took over for Loan. Loan is a decent card that casual players tend to not like, because it may flip over a good Treasure. And I had a better version to do, hooray.

Investment is another trashing Treasure, this time tying into the VP tokens. You can imagine getting a bunch of VP from one of these, but it's far from trivial. Just remember, it was also a Treasure that trashed stuff for you.

Secret History

The Trade Route replacement. Gets in another use of VP tokens. It wanted to count Treasures in play, but it was too confusing to do that while trashing itself, so it looks at your hand instead.
—Donald X. Vaccarino, The Secret History of Prosperity 2E
