Village idiot

"Village idiot" is a derogatory term for an inexperienced Dominion player who buys too many Villages. Although Village is almost never a harmful card to have in one's deck, and its +2 Actions bonus looks appealing, it carries a potentially heavy opportunity cost: every turn you buy a Village is a turn you could have bought a Silver and didn't. Since Village produces no +, buying Villages doesn't improve your ability to buy cards in any way. Its only value is in increasing the number of terminal Actions you can play each turn; but over-investing in Villages leaves the Village Idiot player without enough money to regularly buy the powerful terminal Actions that the Villages are useful to support.
