+2 Actions Reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal an Action or Treasure card. Put that card into your hand and discard the other cards. |
Farming Village is an Action card from Cornucopia. It is a village (i.e., it gives +2 Actions) that digs for an Action or Treasure, instead of merely drawing the top card of the deck like the vanilla Village does. In addition to its use as a source of +Actions for engines, it can also counter certain Attacks that leave dead cards on top of the deck, such as Rabble.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- Reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal a Treasure or Action card.
- If you run out of cards before finding one, shuffle your discard pile (but not the revealed cards), and keep revealing cards.
- If you still cannot find one, just discard all of the revealed cards.
- If you do find a Treasure or Action card, put it into your hand, and discard the rest of the revealed cards.
- A card with multiple types, one of which is Treasure or Action (for example Diadem, a Treasure - Prize), is a Treasure or Action and so will be drawn by this.
- You do not choose Treasure or Action - you stop on the first card matching either type.
