Strategy Article
There isn't a Nobles strategy article.
Nobles is a pretty good addition to engines, since it's a green card you can pick up without clogging your deck; if you have a hand full of other engine pieces, either Villages or Smithies, Nobles will fit right in. The fact that it offers a choice make Nobles pretty good grease for any engine. However, Nobles alone does not make for a very good engine; it costs $6, meaning that it's difficult to acquire a lot of them, and since it's "Village" option does not draw you a card, two Nobles only give as much benefit as one Laboratory.
In Big Money, Nobles is a mediocre enabler because it conflicts with Gold, and you will typically want to start buying Nobles over Gold just before you'd start preferring Duchy over Gold.
