Banquet is a weak [[Event]] that provides a cheap way to gain a card costing {{Cost|5}} or less at the cost of taking two {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} along with it. [[Junk]]ing yourself is not often worthwhile, but Banquet can be very helpful if you have a way of getting rid of the {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} easily or if they are actively beneficial. Banquet can also allow you to [[three-pile ending|pile out]] more cheaply.


Banquet is a mediocre event, but in the right kingdoms it can be insanely good. Any games where you want {{Cost|5}} cards early in the game (and don't mind the Copper), Banquet is good, especially if the kingdom includes a trasher  like {{Event|Donate}} or {{Card|Chapel}}, or something like {{Card|Trader}}, to avoid gaining the Coppers in the first place. However, for Banquet to really shine, you need cards that like the Copper.
Infrequently, you can use Banquet to supply you with powerful {{Cost|5}} cards early and often if you have a good way of trashing the {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} before they can interfere with your [[deck control]]. For example, if you have a {{Card|Monastery}} (which lets you trash one junk card per gain) or {{Card|Watchtower}} in hand, you can neutralize them readily; similarly, you might use Banquet to obtain strong [[payload]] cards cheaply before buying {{Event|Donate}}. In general, however, opening with Banquet for a {{Cost|5}} card is counterproductive, as the advantage of playing the {{Cost|5}} a [[shuffle]] early is outweighed by the {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} causing you to see that {{Cost|5}} more infrequently and simultaneously dragging down the average quality of your deck.  
 
 
=== [[Counting House]] ===
 
The {{Card|Counting House}}-Banquet combo is one of the best in the game. Virtually unbeatable, it's an extremely fast strategy, winning over {{Card|Goons}}, {{Card|Minion}}, and even (barely)
{{Card|Chapel}} in about 15 turns. The strategy itself is quite simple. All you have to do is gain Counting House with Banquet every turn unless you have {{Cost|8}} or more, in which case you should buy a {{Card|Province}} (if you have less than {{Cost|3}}, just buy a Copper). When you have enough Coppers in your discard pile to buy a Province, you will be able to buy one every turn that you have Counting House until you reshuffle. Cursers have very little effect, as your opponent will only get to play their {{Card|Witch}} or {{Card|Swindler}} 6-7 times at best, barely making a dent in your 40{{VP}}+. Also, {{Card|Curse|Curses}} don't bog you down very much: all you need to buy a Province is eight Coppers in your discard pile and a Counting House in your hand. Any discard down to X attacks such as {{Card|Militia}} will have no effect, as long as you keep your Counting House in hand. (Multiple {{Card|Torturer|Torturers}} may put a stop to you, however.) Most other strategies will take too long to get started, as [[Big Money]] will only get about 2 Provinces in a 15-turn game.
 
 
=== [[Coppersmith]] ===
 
The {{Card|Coppersmith}} and Banquet strategy works the same way as the Counting House-Banquet, except you gain Coppersmith with the Banquet instead of Counting House. This strategy is by no means as good as Counting House-Banquet, however. The main problem with this strategy is that you need four Coppers and a Coppersmith in your hand to buy a Province. Discard attacks and cursers can hurt you quite a bit by lowering your handsize and cluttering your deck, making it hard to get four Coppers in your hand. Even {{Card|Cutpurse}} could easily cost you a Province. This strategy may get you a few Provinces, but will rarely split them 4-4 in a 2-player game. {{Card|Duchy|Duchies}} may seem like a good alternative to Provinces, but even this strategy has it's drawbacks, such as:
 
* Cluttered deck:
Buying a lot of Duchies equals a lot of green cards.
 
* Few victory points:
In a 2-player game, if you empty the Duchy pile, you'd get ~ 24 points. Your opponent could buy eight Provinces and get ~ 48 points. Even though you would most likely buy all the Duchies before your opponent emptied the Provinces out, four or five {{Card|Estate|Estates}} isn't going to propel you to victory. (Even if {{Card|Tunnel}} or {{card|Island}} is in the game, you'd find it hard to catch up. You would, however, have a chance to end the game before the Provinces are gone, and Islands could help un-clutter your deck, but you probably wouldn't Island enough Victory cards to make a difference.)
 
* You need to run down a third pile before your opponent buys his sixth Province. (Again, Tunnel or something similar could potentially work)
 
One solution to all three of these problem is the {{Card|Harem}}:
 
* If you buy Harem first, then Duchies, you'll have more {{Cost|}} to spend.
 
* Eight Harems plus eight Duchies equals 40 points. Still not enough to beat eight Provinces, but you could potentially buy a Province or two this way, elevating your chances of winning.
 
* {{Card|Harem}} is your third pile.
 
This still wouldn't work very well. However, if you went for Harems, Provinces, and Duchies (Duchies only late in the game), you would have a much better chance. Overall, the Coppersmith-Banquet is a fairly bad strategy, not nearly as good as the Counting House-Banquet.
 
=== [[Gardens]] or [[Philosopher's Stone]] ===
 
The {{Card|Gardens}} with Banquet is better than you may think, even though you can't gain a Gardens with banquet. The basic strategy is:
 
* Less than {{Cost|3}}: Buy a Copper.
 
* {{Cost|3}} to {{Cost|5}}: Buy Banquet and gain a {{Card|Silver}}, or buy a Gardens.
 
* {{Cost|6}}: If you have [[+Buy]], buy two Banquets, and gain two Silvers.
 
* {{Cost|7}}: If you have +Buy, buy Banquet and a Gardens.
 
* {{Cost|8}}+: Buy Province or Gardens, depending on how many cards you have in your deck.
Cards such as {{Card|Festival}}, {{Card|Charm}}, {{Card|Nomad Camp}}, {{Card|Woodcutter}}, or {{Card|Horse Traders}} make a good alternative to Silver, as they all offer at least {{Cost|2}} and +1 Buy. Festival and Charm, however are better than the others, because they aren't [[terminal]].
 
One card that is extremely good with Gardens is the {{Card|Cache}}. If you gain a Cache with Banquet, you're getting five cards in one turn (half a {{VP}} for each Gardens you have). To truly unlock Cache's power, however, you need {{Cost|6}} and +1 Buy. This way, you can buy two Banquets, gain two Caches, and eight Coppers, which is ten cards, or one {{VP}} per Gardens you have. This is hard to beat, but you do need an extra Buy to make this happen.
 
As for {{Card|Philosopher's Stone}}, well, it's pretty self-explanatory: Philosopher's Stone likes lots of cards, and Banquet gives you lots of cards. Opening {{Cost|4}}/{{cost|3}} and buying two Banquets and gaining two {{Card|Potion|Potions}} will allow you to get the Philosopher's Stone pretty early, and after that, all you need to do is keep buying Banquets and expanding your deck.
 
===[[ Ill-Gotten Gains ]]===
 
If you open {{cost|3}}/{{Cost|4}} you can buy two Banquets, gain two {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}} and dish out two curses to each other player while giving yourself a bunch of Coppers, which will come in handy in a Duchy rush. As it is much easier to have {{Cost|3}} than {{Cost|5}}, the IGG rush becomes that much easier, and the Curse and IGG pile is depleted much faster. Once this happens, just go like crazy for Duchies and try to end the game as quickly as possible. However, since your opponents' decks are full of Curses, there isn't as much urgency as usual to end the game (if your opponent is going heavy on {{Card|Ambassador|Ambassadors}}, you might have some trouble).
 
===[[Apothecary]]===
 
{{Card|Apothecary}} likes Coppers, and Banquet is only too happy to provide them. Similarly to Philosopher's Stone, if you get two Potions early on with Banquet, you shouldn't have too much trouble  buying Apothecaries. If {{Card|Golem}} is in the game, it can help by digging out your Apothecaries from amidst all the Coppers, then playing them and drawing 5-10 Coppers, almost garunteeing you a Province.
 
 
 
===Synergies/Combos===
 
* {{Card|Gardens}} games, especially with other enablers
 
* Cards that stop you from gaining the Coppers, such as {{Card|Trader}} or {{Card|Watchtower}}
 
* Cards that like the Copper, such as {{Card|Counting House}}, {{Card|Coppersmith}}, {{Card|Apothecary}}, {{card|Philosopher's Stone}}, or {{Landmark|Fountain}}
 
 
===Antisynergies===


* {{Landmark|Wall|Games where the Coppers are harmful}}
Sometimes Banquet’s {{Card|Copper}} gaining increases its appeal. If extra net gains are difficult to come by, you may be able to make use of the {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, e.g. as fodder for a card like {{Card|Forager}} to trash. In other cases, certain effects form powerful synergies with Banquet by making {{Card|Copper}} specifically a valuable card to gain. In particular, {{Project|Guildhall}} combined with repeated Banquet purchases can generate enough [[Coffers]] to start reliably buying a single {{Card|Province}} per turn rather early in the game. Banquet also works very well with a {{Card|Spices}}-based [[money strategy]], since it not only makes this Treasure easier to gain but also provides an increase in [[money density]] via the flood of {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} that is somewhat helpful for this strategy; for similar reasons.


Occasionally, Banquet can also help with scoring, even though you can’t use it to gain [[Victory]] cards. It adds extra cards to your deck quickly, which is beneficial late in the game when {{Card|Gardens}} points are relevant. The {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} can also provide {{VP}}, e.g. with {{Landmark|Fountain}} or {{Landmark|Palace}}.

  • You can do this even if the Copper pile is empty.

Strategy

Banquet is a weak Event that provides a cheap way to gain a card costing $5 or less at the cost of taking two Coppers along with it. Junking yourself is not often worthwhile, but Banquet can be very helpful if you have a way of getting rid of the Coppers easily or if they are actively beneficial. Banquet can also allow you to pile out more cheaply.

Infrequently, you can use Banquet to supply you with powerful $5 cards early and often if you have a good way of trashing the Coppers before they can interfere with your deck control. For example, if you have a Monastery (which lets you trash one junk card per gain) or Watchtower in hand, you can neutralize them readily; similarly, you might use Banquet to obtain strong payload cards cheaply before buying Donate. In general, however, opening with Banquet for a $5 card is counterproductive, as the advantage of playing the $5 a shuffle early is outweighed by the Coppers causing you to see that $5 more infrequently and simultaneously dragging down the average quality of your deck.

Sometimes Banquet’s Copper gaining increases its appeal. If extra net gains are difficult to come by, you may be able to make use of the Coppers, e.g. as fodder for a card like Forager to trash. In other cases, certain effects form powerful synergies with Banquet by making Copper specifically a valuable card to gain. In particular, Guildhall combined with repeated Banquet purchases can generate enough Coffers to start reliably buying a single Province per turn rather early in the game. Banquet also works very well with a Spices-based money strategy, since it not only makes this Treasure easier to gain but also provides an increase in money density via the flood of Coppers that is somewhat helpful for this strategy; for similar reasons.

Occasionally, Banquet can also help with scoring, even though you can’t use it to gain Victory cards. It adds extra cards to your deck quickly, which is beneficial late in the game when Gardens points are relevant. The Coppers can also provide VP, e.g. with Fountain or Palace.

Secret History

This started as a Treasure for $3 that was worth $1 and came with a Copper and a $5 (then, a Copper and a non-VP $5). I liked it like that, but changing it to an Event saved a slot and made it less fast at running out piles.

Donald X.'s opinion

It's fun to gain Coppers when it's the move. Banquet tantalizes you with a turn one $5 you couldn't otherwise have, but of course it asks a lot in exchange.
