Description

--- Burn After Reading is a 2-cost, 1 XP Survivor event card with Insight that sacrifices a non-weakness card for clues and optional doom removal. Key mechanics include: - *Card Sacrifice*: Discard or exile a non-weakness card from hand or play area. - *Clue Generation*: Discover clues at your location equal to half the card's level, rounded up. - *Doom Mitigation*: If the exiled card's level is 2 or higher, remove 1 doom from the current agenda. - *Resource Investment*: Requires 2 resources and 1 experience point to play. - *Design Origin*: Created by the Council-in-Exile at Gen Con Online 2020; later featured in Edge of the Earth: Investigator Expansion. This beta card, Burn After Reading (Event: Survivor), was designed by the Council-in-Exile during Gen Con Online 2020 and subsequently included in the Edge of the Earth: Investigator Expansion. Functioning as a 2-cost event requiring 1 XP with the Insight trait, it enables players to strategically discard or exile a non-weakness card from their hand or play area. This action yields clues at the player's location numbering half the sacrificed card's level (rounded up), providing investigative efficiency. Additionally, exiling a card of level 2 or higher triggers the removal of 1 doom from the current agenda, offering a potent mechanism for agenda advancement control and risk mitigation in high-stakes scenarios. ---
