Harbor Village is an Action card from Plunder. It is a village; and if the next Action card you play after it provides virtual coin, Harbor Village will add an extra + to that.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• This only cares if the Action itself gave you + not if you otherwise got + due to playing it (such as due to Training, from Adventures, or due to receiving The Forest's Gift, from Nocturne).
• It's okay if you no longer have the (such as due to Storyteller^†).
• +Coffers (from Guilds and Renaissance) is not +.
• + doesn't get you the bonus.
• Using a Way (from Menagerie) to get + (e.g. Way of the Sheep) does get you the bonus.
• If you Throne Room a Harbor Village and then play a Militia, you played Harbor Village, then Harbor Village, then Militia, so you get nothing for the first play of Harbor Village and + for the second play of it.

Other rules clarifications

• ^† The Storyteller example in the FAQ is referring to the original wording that gave you +. Other cards that can give + and make you lose include Poor House, Souk, Capital City, and Black Market.
• If an Action makes +, but you have the - token (from Bridge Troll and/or Ball), that reduces the Action's + to +, so it won't count for Harbor Village. [1]
• If Harbor Village has Inspiring, then the Action you play with it will be the "next" Action that Harbor Village checks for.
• Normally, if you play 2 consecutive Harbor Villages, the first one won't give + even if the second one ends up giving you +. This is because you don't get + from the second Harbor Village until after playing a third Action card, and the first Harbor Village checks if you got + from the second Harbor Village before that happens.
  • However, if Harbor Village has Inspiring and your 2nd Harbor Village causes you to play an Action giving + then the 2nd Harbor Village will give + early enough for the 1st Harbor Village to give + for it.
  • If you play Kiln, play Harbor Village, gain a 2nd Harbor Village and play it with Innovation, and then play a card giving + (e.g., Militia), both Harbor Villages will give +. This is because you play the second Harbor Village after putting the first Harbor Village in play, but before resolving it; therefore the Militia is the "next" Action card for both of them.
• If the next Action you play didn't give +, but replaying that card causes it to give + (e.g. you play a Steward and choose +2 Cards, then call a Royal Carriage on the Steward and choose +), that won't count for Harbor Village.
  • However, if the Steward is Reckless, and you choose +2 Cards and +, that will count for Harbor Village. [2]
• If the next Action you play is an Inspiring Merchant, and Inspiring plays a Fortune Hunter that plays a Silver, that means Merchant gives +, which means Harbor Village also gives +. [3]

Secret History

I messed with the wording, but the premise stayed the same. Originally it let you play an Action, then checked if it gave you +. It's nicer for a village to say +2 Actions though.

Wording

Harbor Village, there were several things I could have done, including making some other card. I wasn't thrilled with "play an action, then see if your amount of went up," which would have been clear enough for rules-pokers (I think?).
