'''Townsfolk''' is a [[type]] of [[Kingdom card]] from the [[Allies]] expansion. There are 4 copies each of 4 differently-named Townsfolk with a single [[randomizer]] card, forming a [[split pile]]: when Townsfolk are selected as a [[Kingdom]] card for a game, they are put into a single [[supply]] pile in order by increasing [[cost]], of which only the top card can be gained at any given time. The cheapest of the four allows you to "[[rotate]]" the pile—move all copies of the current top card to the bottom of the pile, revealing the next card in the sequence.

The "choose one" theme from {{Set|Intrigue}} returns! Okay it's been on the table for every expansion, but now there is a bunch of it at once. Including cards that can cantrip or do another thing, and cards that do something and then give you a choice of a twist on that something. Well let's start with a split pile, the Townsfolk:

{{Card|Elder}} ties the pile together, giving you an extra choice when choose-one-ing (or choose-two-ing). It's optional; you can {{Card|Elder}} a {{Card|Count}} and take an extra good thing but not an extra bad thing. If I made a card like {{Card|Elder}} as a regular pile, game after game there'd be no choose-one on the same board. But it's in a split pile so there are always at least two, {{Card|Town Crier}} and {{Card|Blacksmith}}. And then {{Card|Miller}} can help you line up the combo.

=== Secret History ===

|Text=For a bit the pile had a Mafia theme - it was Vigilante, {{Card|Miller}}, Town Doctor, {{Card|Elder}}. The Vigilante trashed a Townsfolk from the supply, only they were called Townies. The first version though had a Town Crier, without the [[cantrip]] option and with "gain a Townie" instead. {{Card|Blacksmith}} never changed (but at first was called Miller). A few cards tried out for the 3rd slot. There was a Silversmith that gave bonuses for {{Card|Silver}}s in hand; there was a Town Doctor that triggered on trashing cards, to get them back. There were cards that gave you +Cards or +{{coin}} based on how many cards you had in play, or how many differently named cards. There was a cantrip that drew other Townsfolk from your top 4 cards. Miller is an old old card, a version of it predates there being expansions. This shape seemed the right one and worked out. Elder initially gave +1 Action and affected the rest of the turn; this was too much.
