What is your favorite village in Dominion?

A village is any card that gives +2 Actions. For me it's Wandering Minstrel, with Fishing Village close behind.

If your favorite card is not listed here, make another poll.
I don't think that's a good idea. The forum will be flooded with polls.

I changed it to "favorite village". And it's not a poll, you just post your idea.

I've got a soft spot nowadays for just Village. Simple Village. No frills. It's elegant.

I actually really like Shanty Town. It's a fun card.

worker's village. it has the simplicity of vanilla village, but it makes the engine easier with the +buy and +action in the same card!

Throne Room on a cantrip. ;)
Herald on a cantrip.

For realsies though... At $2 I prefer Squire over Hamlet (although Hamlet is probably better), at $3 it's Fishing Village, and at $4 I would say Mining Village. Although really, I tend to like Mining Village for it's not-village component, so I don't know if that's fair. At $*, I really like Border Village because it lets you pull some stunts while looking totally innocuous, and University for pure power.

Wow, this is a hard question. I love Villages in general because they enable powerful engines, which I'm quite good with and love to see in games.

From a pure Village standpoint, my favorite is Wandering Minstrel, because it ensures that you keep drawing useful Action cards with subsequent draws, as well as ensuring you can kick off your engine the next turn. Not to mention that the name of the card reminds me of the "Wandering Monster" card in Munchkin (which happens to be my favorite card in that game).

But from any card that provides plays of multiple terminals, I'd have to go with Throne Room or King's Court. Setting up massive chains of TR/KC has always felt really cool to me, not to mention that you are playing lots of good cards quite a few times. And playing them on actual villages gives you Actions to spare!

Counting House.




...By putting enough Coppers in hand to discard to enough Hamlets to get more actions.

Squire or Wandering Minstrel.

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

I prefer the "permanent village": ThroneRoom-Scheme.

Otherwise: Plaza rocks the house.

Probably Worker's Village. I'm a sucker for +buy.

I'm only considering *standard* villages (no KC or Herald or anything)
