Bazaar is a [[Village (card category)|village]] and [[Peddler variant]] that lends itself to use in [[engine]]s in the same way as other villages, with some economy as an added benefit. It’s best added to your engine as soon as you have some [[deck control]] and need more [[terminal space]], typically in the early midgame, although its somewhat high price compared to other villages may make this more difficult than usual.
There's no strategy article for Bazaar. It was mentioned in this [http://dominionstrategy.com/2011/08/30/comparing-the-villages/ article] by chwhite, edited by theory.
 
This high price is the main downside of Bazaar. At {{Cost|5}}, it competes with many other powerful [[Action]] cards, has a much higher [[opportunity cost]] than cheaper villages, and cannot be gained by most [[Workshop variant]]s. If it is the only available village, assembling an engine is more expensive and thus slower than usual, especially if the available [[draw]] card also costs {{Cost|5}}. Therefore, it works best with cheaper components for draw such as {{Card|Smithy}}. [[Cost reduction]] (e.g. {{Card|Quarry}}) or suitable gainers (e.g. {{Card|Vampire}} or {{Card|Altar}}) make Bazaar significantly easier to acquire, and therefore more attractive.
 
The extra {{Cost|1}} that Bazaar generates is usually secondary to the village effect, as +{{Cost|1}} from a {{Cost|5}} card is relatively weak, but it does have a couple of beneficial effects. As with all Peddler variants, providing payload without adding any [[stop card]]s means you typically need less draw. Additionally, because you can simultaneously add your village effect and some payload, building can be slightly faster with Bazaar.

Its +Card makes engines run smoother than [[Festival]] engines, but it also gives +$1 so you don't have to invest in very many treasures, just enough to hit $5. Pretty nice.

Bazaar is an Action card from Seaside. It is both a village (i.e., it gives +2 actions) and a Peddler variant (a cantrip producing +$1), making it useful in many engines despite its relatively high cost.

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • You draw a card and get +2 Actions and +$1.

Strategy

Bazaar is a village and Peddler variant that lends itself to use in engines in the same way as other villages, with some economy as an added benefit. It’s best added to your engine as soon as you have some deck control and need more terminal space, typically in the early midgame, although its somewhat high price compared to other villages may make this more difficult than usual.

This high price is the main downside of Bazaar. At $5, it competes with many other powerful Action cards, has a much higher opportunity cost than cheaper villages, and cannot be gained by most Workshop variants. If it is the only available village, assembling an engine is more expensive and thus slower than usual, especially if the available draw card also costs $5. Therefore, it works best with cheaper components for draw such as Smithy. Cost reduction (e.g. Quarry) or suitable gainers (e.g. Vampire or Altar) make Bazaar significantly easier to acquire, and therefore more attractive.

The extra $1 that Bazaar generates is usually secondary to the village effect, as +$1 from a $5 card is relatively weak, but it does have a couple of beneficial effects. As with all Peddler variants, providing payload without adding any stop cards means you typically need less draw. Additionally, because you can simultaneously add your village effect and some payload, building can be slightly faster with Bazaar.

Official card art.

Card Art

This art was turned in for Market, but by mistake another artist was also doing Market.
—Donald X. Vaccarino, 'Art Trivia'

Secret History

A vanilla card. It was in a later set, and I moved it here to have another Village. We accidentally got two illustrations for Market; this card has the one that isn't on Market.
—Donald X. Vaccarino, The Secret History of the Seaside Cards
