Strategy
This is the vanilla Boon distributor, a terminal silver and often weak compared to other cards, due to the unpredictable nature of the Boons. It is hard to justify buying this card in the opening stages of the game, particularly if there are many other cards. However, if there are gainers, or sources of +Buy, along with strong Villages, then playing multiple Bards on the same turn will allow you to receive one of the stronger Boons, and possibly turn the tide in your favour. This card should thus be considered as situational.

Secret History
The simplest Fate card. I didn't have it immediately, but one day it was time to get simple. Some versions had an heirloom paired with it, since they glommed onto simple cards, but in the end it doesn't have one.
