'''Cursed Village''' is an [[Action]]-[[Doom]] card from [[Nocturne]].  It's a [[Village (card category)|village]] and a [[draw-to-X]] card.  This combination of effects is powerful enough that, as a penalty, you are forced to [[Hex]] yourself when you gain one.

'''Cursed Village''' is an [[Action]]-[[Doom]] card from [[Nocturne]].  It's a [[Village (card category)|village]] that can also potentially act as [[non-terminal draw]], and is the only [[non-terminal]] draw-to-X card.  As a downside to that, you are forced to [[Hex]] yourself when you gain one.

Cursed Village is a very strong [[engine]] card, being both a reliable [[Village_(card_category)|village]] and a powerful [[draw]] card. It is a Draw-to-X card, like {{Card|Library}} and {{Card|Watchtower}}, and so it works with many of the same cards including [[disappearing money]], [[discard for benefit]] and [[sifter]]s, but it is easier to utilize effectively because it doesn't require any further village support. Although it might seem that your handsize will increase by too much to make Cursed Village worthwhile, in many cases alternating Cursed Village and terminal non-drawing cards works well enough already, making Cursed Village at least as strong as {{Card|Lost City}}. Do not make the mistake of thinking you need more draw; in the presence of other draw cards, Cursed Village quickly deteriorates into a {{Card|Necropolis}}. You could say that Cursed Village is a very jealous draw card, intolerant of any other draw in the deck.

Cursed Village has a clear drawback; it Hexes you upon gain. Some of the hexes are fairly inconsequential - the handsize hexes, {{Hex|Haunting}}, {{Hex|Fear}} and {{Hex|Poverty}}, tend to do nothing when it's your buy phase. Others, however, can be painful. The worst one to get is probably {{Hex|Locusts}}, especially when you're drawing your deck, as that immediately kills your Cursed Village. It might be worth it to track where Locusts is in the Hex deck.

If your opponent has Cursed Villages, do not employ [[handsize attack]]s; they will actively help your opponent to activate their Cursed Villages.
