FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)
  • Treachery cards do not have a header for their subtitle. If the title of a treachery card contains 1 or more words in parentheses, that is considered to be its subtitle. Other cards with the same title and a different subtitle are still considered to be copies of one another. e.g. Restless Journey (Fallacy) and Restless Journey (Hardship) are both copies of Restless Journey. - FAQ, v.2.0, Card Ability Interpretation 2.21, see Treachery Subtitles.

Like Hastur's Gaze, potentially game-ending if the stars align. If this ends up in your hand and there are no Monster enemies left set aside, it'll stick around forever, and prevent you from triggering abilities on locations... like, say, the Resign ability on Garden added by No Asylum. Probably unintentional, but still devastating, especially given the "Investigator Defeat" resolution nastiness.

Aside from that, surprisingly gentle; yes, not being able to help the party complete the 4 tasks needed to advance Act 3 is troublesome, but there are still things you can do with your turn, even if you never discard this (until you need to resign). For example, you could kill The Man in the Pallid Mask, who really seems to like spawning in Garden, preventing you from being able to resign until he's exhausted...

Does it work like that ? There's no "then" in the text nor a colon after the "monster-under-act-deck" part , so I don't see why the discard-this-card part would be dependent on successfully resolving the monster-under-the-act-deck part. If there are no monsters left, can't you just spend your action, try and fail to put a monster under the act deck and then discard the card? — bee123 · 31
Yeah, there's no 'then' or colon, so the second part of the effect isn't dependant on the first as either cost or effect, but you have to resolve it if you can. You can literally just wait until you get to the garden then toss it, if other people are doing the other actions on locations. — SSW · 209
Oh. I thought that the "monster-under-act-deck" was part of the card's cost, so you needed to pay it in order for the rest of it to resolve. Just how badly have I misread this thing? — NightgauntTaxiService · 404
You can't get yourself into a position where it sticks around forever , that's all xD I made the same mistake the first time I read it fwiw. It's the precise card that taught me to look ***very carefully*** for colons in encounter cards in future cycles. — bee123 · 31
I like how the exact same thing was brought up in the other version of Gift of Madness. — toastsushi · 74
