Strategy Article
Yes, it is possible to Throne Room or King's Court a Ruined Village and use that as your only Villages in an engine. If you pull this off, please post a log on the forums, because it would be awesome to see.
Other than that case, Ruined Village is probably the least useful Ruins, typically effectively doing nothing at all for you.
Synergies/Combos
- Ruined Village does not interfere with Library engines, and minimally with Watchtower engines.
- Can help activate Conspirator engines in the presence of other enablers.
- Reduces the cost of Peddler.
- Increases the maximum cost of the card gained by Horn of Plenty.
- Contains two card types for Courtier
- In some kingdoms, playing this with Prince can be the only way to get additional actions.

Trivia
Card Art
The art shows a ruined version of the art for Walled Village.
Regarding why Walled Village was the basis for the art, Donald X. said:
That was something Jay did. Note though that Village does appear on Pillage in the same set (and on Scrying Pool). So he may have just been avoiding doing two callbacks to Village at once.
Secret History
Back when, the main set had Confusion—a blank card—and an attack that gave it out. Confusion just wasn't worth the 30 or 50 extra cards it required. It plays so much like Curse. When I decided to make Dark Ages 500 cards, I of course thought of Confusion. Confusion still wasn't worth doing though. But what about more interesting penalty cards? They wouldn't need to be all the same even. And well there they are, the Ruins. It was always those five. Some people argued that Ruined Village was more funny than worth printing; it's easily the worst one, and in a multiplayer game someone just randomly got handed it while someone else got Abandoned Mine. But I thought that wasn't so bad, and felt that it was important that it be very easy to learn the Ruins. Four are +1's and then there's Survivors. Bam.
Further development comments from Donald X.
I considered "Play up to two Ruins cards" - the village for Ruinses - but as you can see went with the classic.
