Exile an Action card from the Supply. While it's in Exile, when another player gains or Invests in a copy of it, +2 Cards.

Invest is an Event from Menagerie. It puts an Action card from the Supply onto your Exile mat and then draws you 2 cards whenever another player gains or Invests in that same Action.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• It only matters if the card you Exile is an Action, not if the whole pile is.
• While the card is Exiled, you draw 2 cards each time another player gains a copy of it, or uses Invest to Exile a copy of it.
• This is not optional.
• This is cumulative; if you Invest twice in the same card, you will get +4 Cards each time someone else gains a copy or Invests in it.
• If the game has another way to Exile cards, keep the Invested ones separate from the other ones; for example, you can put them half under the mat.
• Those other Exiled cards were not Invested and do not draw you cards.
• Cards Exiled with Invest can be discarded from the mat in the normal way, by gaining another copy of the card; then you will no longer draw cards for players gaining/Investing in them.

Other rules clarifications

• If you have 2 copies of a card in exile, and only one of them was exiled with Invest, you can use Transport to topdeck the non-Invested copy.

Secret History

Originally you just drew one card. It was cool when we tried it in the first game with it, then we never bought it. I upped it to 2 (and fiddled with the wording), and then we played it a bunch, trying to see just how good this experience was.

Donald X.'s opinion

It was interesting that Invest got so much hate. Invest is like Torturer; you have to learn, sometimes you have to take the Curse.
