Favorite preset? Least favorite preset? Most played preset?

I'm guessing First Game is the most popular since it often gets used as the intro game to the series, whether if it's just base game, or even if expansions happen to be available.
Cellar, Moat
Village, Woodcutter, Workshop
Militia, Remodel, Smithy
Market, Mine

Followed by Big Money as an immediately follow up to First Game.
Chapel, Chancellor
Bureaucrat, Feat, Moneylender, Throne Room
Laboratory, Market, Mine, Adventurer


I know many do full random to explore even more combos, but I'm interested in the ones as curated in the rulebooks.

With empires, I absolutely hated "basic intro" and my dad said something to the effect of, "are you sure this is the BASIC intro?"

Edit: also, Donald has said in the past that he doesn't really put that much thought into the recommended sets, so I wouldn't necessarily call them "curated."

I think the kingdom design contest kingdoms tend to be some of the best out there.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Tomb of the Rat King.

This, by a mile. I am absolutely in love with this board - the payload is obvious but there are several subtle strategy mechanics at play in addition to the Rats / Fortress thing.

Seconded. Great Kingdom.

Curated does seem to be overkill.  Still, it seems they put some thought into them.  It's not like they used a random card generator, or threw darts on a wall to create these sets.
