Nobles is an Action and Victory card from Intrigue. It is the quintessential Intrigue card, since it both gives you a choice (either +2 Actions or +3 Cards) and is a Victory card worth 2 . Since it can give +2 Actions or +3 Cards, it is one of the Villages and Smithies; its versatility means that it fits well into almost any deck, though Big Money-like decks will rarely want Nobles ahead of Gold.

Strategy Article
There isn't a Nobles strategy article.
Nobles is a pretty good addition to engines, since it's a green card you can pick up without clogging your deck; if you have a hand full of other engine pieces, either Villages or Smithies, Nobles will fit right in. The fact that it offers a choice make Nobles pretty good grease for any engine. However, Nobles alone does not make for a very good engine; it costs , meaning that it's difficult to acquire a lot of them, and since its "Village" option does not draw you a card, two Nobles only give as much benefit as one Laboratory.
It's worth noting that the 2 of Nobles can give engines quite a bit more time to set up. If you build an engine with 6 Nobles, they give you enough points to overcome a 5-3 Province split against you!
In Big Money, Nobles is a mediocre enabler because it conflicts with Gold, and you will typically want to start buying Nobles over Gold just before you'd start preferring Duchy over Gold.
