Round 4:

15 Fishing Village x13
19 Ironmonger x8
25 Border Village x17
I gave it an extra day because of the weekend. It's close and well someone is bound to be disappointed but it's time to move on.
Fishing Village. If I close my eyes, I can see it so clearly: a guy holding up a fish, with a rowboat and some shacks in the background. The image is even clearer if I open my eyes. Fishing Village debuted in Prosperity, as those of you who have been paying attention know. And it gave +2 Actions next turn. There were some complaints during playtesting and I toned it down. It doesn't give you a card, but then Wharf gives you 4 cards, so it all works out. When you want Villages you often want a lot of them, and Fishing Village is a lot of Villages. In multiplayer there are groups that will open Fishing Village / Fishing Village; no-one wants to be left out.
Border Village meanwhile I can only see as the prototype version, which some of you know as the isotropic version; the published one has some computer art and it all just forms a mush for me. Border Village started out at $5, and I made it stronger by making it cost more. There's a trick you can't always do, is what I probably say in the Secret History. But today isn't about history, today is about the future. Well tomorrow by the time most of you read this, but well what's more future than tomorrow? The day after that? But I digress. Border Village is Village, but it only costs $1 and not even a Buy, if you're already getting a $5. It could have been phrased like Duchess. That would have been weird. While Haggler is the poster child for Hinterlands, Border Village is right behind it; you buy a thing and you get another thing. And that other thing may even want a Village.
Only one of these titans of Dominion can win this particular voting bracket thingy. The choice, as always, is yours.
