FAQ
Official FAQ
- This card is not in the Supply; it can only be obtained via Hermit.
- When you play it, you get +2 Actions, return it to the Madman pile if you can (this is not optional), and if you did return it, you draw a card per card in your hand.
- For example if you had three cards in hand after playing Madman, you would draw three cards.
- Normally nothing will prevent you from returning Madman to the Madman pile, but you may fail to due to playing Madman twice via cards like Throne Room.
- So, for example, if you Procession a Madman, you will get +2 Actions, return Madman to the Madman pile, draw a card per card in your hand, get another +2 Actions, fail to return Madman and so not draw cards the second time, fail to trash Madman, and then gain an Action card costing exactly if you can.
Other Rules clarifications
- Since Madman is not in the Supply, the Madman pile being empty does NOT count towards the three-pile end-game condition.

Trivia
Secret History
Madman started as an Intrigue card for . At first it was +2 Actions, +3 Cards, trash this; then I moved it to the large version of Alchemy, which at the time was planning on having a hand-related sub-theme, and changed it from +3 Cards to doubling your hand size, because hey, that's cool. Then of course I moved it to Cornucopia when Alchemy ended up being small and Cornucopia took on the hand theme. Then Cornucopia lost that theme, but this card left first; it was too strong. What would happen was Bill Barksdale would be losing, and moaning about it, and he'd buy a Madman, because what other chance did he have, ugh, ugh, ugh. And then he'd buy two more. And he'd have a turn where he played all three and drew his deck and bought out the Provinces. It seemed like a card still worth doing; it just had to be harder to get them. And so it is.
