- If you gain a Port some other way, you do not get an extra Port.
- There are 12 Ports in the pile; use all 12.
Strategy
Port’s main distinctive feature is that, when you buy it, you gain two at once. This means that you get more terminal space with fewer Buys than you would with many other villages, leaving more Buys available for obtaining other engine components. Building an engine with Port can thus be quicker than it would be with other villages. Because buying Port greatly increases the number of terminals that you can play, it can often be more useful than other villages which provide superior on-play utility compared to a single Port (e.g., Plaza). This is especially relevant if extra gains are hard to come by. On the other hand, if there are gainers such as Ironworks present, you may prefer to gain those other village options rather than Port, as you would only be able to gain one Port at a time while gaining other villages that way gives you the full benefit of the respective card.
In addition to the village effect, getting Ports in pairs is beneficial in several other contexts: when they have more utility than a simple village (due to Ways such as Way of the Owl or Adventures tokens from Teacher, Pathfinding, and so on); when you need more Action cards in your deck (especially nonterminal ones), e.g. for Vineyard or Conspirator; or for three-piling. Port can also be used with effects such as Advance, Way of the Butterfly, or Improve with the intent of either trashing or returning it for some benefit; rarely, this may even mean you want to open with Port.
Because it has no on-play bonus, Port plays just like the original Village once it’s in your deck. Therefore, the usual strategies for using villages apply: it is more relevant for engines than it is for money strategies and should be added to the deck as soon as you have some deck control and need the terminal space, typically in the early midgame.
The Port pile has twelve cards (as opposed to ten for most other Kingdom cards) but is empty after only six buys; the fact that the pile runs out faster than many others may be especially relevant in multiplayer games and/or if there are no other villages available. In these cases, it may be important to contest the split and ensure you can secure enough villages for your engine. This may mean buying Ports earlier than you would other villages.
