Way of the Horse and Villa in the setup
Hand: 4 Merchant Guilds and a Goons
4 Villagers in Villagers Mat
1 – Play the 4 Merchant Guilds - Gain 4 Coffers from Merchant Guilds
2 – Play Goons
3 – Buy Villa – Gain 1 VP from Goons
On gain Villa goes to hand, give + 1 action and returns game to action phase
4 – Play Villa as Way of the Horse – Villa returns to its pile
5 – Play 4 Coffers
Repeat steps 3 to 5 indefinitely for infinite VPs
I think this doesn't work? If you play Villa as Way of the Horse, you don't get the +buy back, so you run out of buys.
It works! I tried it at Dominion Online.
However, in the first posting I missed the Seaway part, even though I had already used it in the test. I edited later to include. Thank you.
The complete loop is this:
Way of the Horse, Seaway and Villa in the setup
Hand: 4 Merchant Guilds and a Goons
4 Villagers in Villagers Mat
Seaway +1 buy token in Villa pile
1 – Play the 4 Merchant Guilds
2 – Play Goons
3 – Buy Villa – Gain 1 VP from Goons – Gain 4 Coffers from Merchant Guilds
On gain Villa goes to hand, gives + 1 action and returns game to action phase
4 – Play Villa as Way of the Horse – gain +1 Buy - Villa returns to its pile
5 – Play 4 Coffers
Repeat steps 3 to 5 indefinitely for infinite VPs
You can use Highways instead of Merchant Guilds for the same result. In this case, you don't need the Villagers and Coffers:
Way of the Horse, Seaway and Villa in the setup
Hand: 4 Highways and a Goons
Seaway +1 buy token in Villa pile
1 – Play the 4 Highways
2 – Play Goons
3 – Buy Villa – Gain 1 VP from Goons
On gain Villa goes to hand, gives + 1 action and returns game to action phase
4 – Play Villa as Way of the Horse – gain +1 Buy - Villa returns to its pile
Repeat steps 3 and 4 indefinitely for infinite VPs
