So when do you want boons?

You want Boons when you want the card that hands them out for other reasons.
What about Fool? You never want that for other reasons than the boons. So are you saying you never want Fool?

Fool seems most useful in money-heavy decks where you'll have not-very-useful cards to discard to Lost in the Woods to get boons. And because you start with Lucky Coin, more games with Fool are going to head in a money-heavy direction. The Lucky Coin sometimes fools ambitions to play an engine.

Yes Blessed Village has you move the Boon to where you can keep an eye on it until you receive it, and "receive a Boon" means it goes to the Boons discard pile (shuffled as needed). Except 3 Boons which say they stay in play until clean-up, those stay in play until clean-up.

I guess you don't literally mean "in play", right? They don't count for things like Horn of Plenty?

They don't count for HoP, but they can literally be "in play" and it wouldn't matter for HoP because they aren't "cards".

Are you basing that on some official information?

Nocturne has Boons. It's a deck of 12 landscape-style cards that give small beneficial effects. You play a card that says "receive a Boon" or some such, and turn over the top Boon and see what you get. You shuffle the cards when needed, they don't run out
They are cards! They are not cards!

Schrödinger's Boons.

I played a game with Idol (my favorite card released so far, even though some people destroy it verbally), and it had Artisan. I got Artisan early on but I don't remember how (it was something like 3rd turn), and it's so great to get your Idols straight in your hand where you can use them even if you don't have any actions left. You have one Idol, you play your Artisan, you get another Idol, you play both and you laugh madly because you got to curse your opponent.

And also, my opinion on Boons is that even though it relies on luck, if there is no trasher, you will want to play your Idols as much as possible to get the Flame's Gift.

I love the way all the Fate cards interact with the Boons! These look like a ton of fun!

Here's what the rest of the Boons do:

Mountain’s gift: Gain a silver
Sky’s gift: You may discard 3 cards to gain a gold
Field’s gift: +1 action +$1 (Keep this until cleanup.)
Moon’s gift: Look through your discard pile. You may put a card from it onto your deck.
River’s gift: +1 Card at the end of this turn. (Keep this until cleanup.)
Wind’s gift: +2 Cards Discard 2 cards.
Flame’s gift: You may trash a card from your hand.
Forest’s gift: +1 Buy +$1 (Keep this until cleanup.)
Earth’s gift: You may discard a treasure to gain a card costing up to $4.

Three Boons games under my belt now and I'm not sure what to make of them. They feel like an early 2000's casual Euro-game mechanic, which seems a little out of place here.

Fool is interesting. I think it belongs in that category of kingdom cards that you will have either 1 or 0 of. It has been a dead card in my hand many turns. Is it worth it? No idea.

Lost in the Woods combos nicely with Hound, though.

one of my favorite cards is chariot race, and I'm looking forward to trying it with wisps, since it clears the low cost cards out of the way.

But Wisp itself is a low-cost card, so I wouldn't count on that working out.

Well, the point is you play a Wisp and reveal the top card of your deck. If it's cheap, you draw it and play another wisp. If it's expensive, it gets left on top and you can Chariot race it.

In practice, what's going to happen is that your opponent plays a Chariot Race and you're stuck with the Wisp on top of your deck for the entire turn while your opponent gets like +5.

So does Bridge Troll, which I had yesterday. It was a Fool's game, so it had lots of Silvers.

I forgot that was there, too. Ah well. All Rivers go into the Sea sooner or later. So if I think about it, it's kind of cute that the River does the Sea thing, just later.

I like it the way it is. The River one is pretty sweet, whereas the Sea one makes me salty (triggers a bad shuffle everytime!)

A player with particularly good foresight could choose to get the River Boon (draw an extra card at the end of the turn) from Blessed Village at the start of the next turn.

Right now you look at the top of the log. Someday they will show up when you right-click on Druid.
