"+Buy or not +Buy, that is the question" - Jack Rudd

'''Hamlet''' is an [[Action]] card from [[Cornucopia]]. It is a [[cantrip]] that can become a [[villages|village]] and/or a source of [[+Buy]] if you are willing to discard one or two cards from your hand to activate one or both of the bonuses.

'''Hamlet''' is an [[Action]] card from [[Cornucopia]]. It is a [[cantrip]]—i.e., it gives +1 Card and +1 Action—and since it can give +2 Actions in any reasonable circumstance, it is considered one of the [[villages]]. Since it is both cheap and gives +Buy, it is considered to be one of the better villages.

There is no strategy article for Hamlet. However, it was mentioned in [http://dominionstrategy.com/2011/12/16/the-five-best-2-cards-2011/ The Five Best {{Cost|2}} cards, 2011] by theory and [http://dominionstrategy.com/2011/08/30/comparing-the-villages/ Comparing the Villages] by chwhite.  
+
Hamlet is a cheap [[cantrip]] with two optional [[discard for benefit]] effects that offer good flexibility. The fact that Hamlet can generate both extra Actions and [[+Buy]] means it can be a decent [[engine]] enabler, though it is not usually the best primary source of either effect. Hamlet is best paired with reasonably powerful draw (especially [[draw-to-x]]), as the cost of discarding a card from your hand is usually significant. However, it is a useful addition in some quantity to most decks: it often works well as a cheap and flexible supplementary source of +Actions or +Buy, and like other cantrips it’s also a good choice whenever you need a high density of Action cards in your deck. As a cheap cantrip, Hamlet is easy to empty as part of a [[three-pile ending|pile-out]], and its +Buy effect can also contribute to facilitating this.
 +
 +
Hamlet’s discarding means that it is usually a rather cumbersome primary [[Village (card category)|village]]. This can be most clearly seen when used with a typical [[terminal draw]] card such as {{Card|Smithy}}, as this pairing increases your net hand size by only a single card; this also means you cannot discard for +Buy without giving up the net draw effect entirely. Other options (e.g. {{Card|Village}} itself) will therefore tend to be preferable if they’re available. Hamlet is especially weak compared to hand size neutral villages when you’re facing [[handsize attack|discarding attacks]], as you need to discard a card from an already reduced hand to begin your turn with an extra Action. However, there are scenarios in which Hamlet’s discarding can be less problematic or even beneficial. If you’re using a draw-to-X effect such as {{Card|Watchtower}}, the ability to [[sifting|sift]] [[junk]] out of your hand and draw more fresh cards can be quite powerful. {{Way|Way of the Owl}} is especially good with Hamlet because copies of the card are easily amassable and you can play some of them with the [[Way]]. Discarding with Hamlet can also be used to activate effects such as {{Card|Menagerie}} draw or +Actions from {{Card|Diplomat}}, as well as effects from the discarded card, e.g. {{Card|Village Green}}.
 +
 +
Outside the cases where such benefits are available, discarding the optimal number of cards with Hamlet for the most beneficial set of effects requires careful consideration. The decisions involved can be made more easily if you delay your Hamlet plays as much as possible during your turn, so as to maximize the amount of information available to you when making them. While discarding dead cards such as [[Victory]] cards may seem to have little downside even if you're not sure whether you'll be able to make use of the bonus, you should consider whether you're likely to want to trigger the [[reshuffle]] into which you're discarding them and your ability to draw through these extra cards if so. Conversely, if you have [[overdraw]], it can be to your benefit to discard Action cards you actually intend to play later in the turn in order to maximize +Action and +Buy generation, but at the same time you may have better uses for your overdraw such as [[gain-and-play]]. Beyond these cases, you need to consider how many copies of Hamlet you will be able to play and what combination of effects you will need to make the most of your turn. Specifically, you should consider the amount of [[terminal space]] you need, the number of extra Buys you can make use of according to the {{Cost}} you can generate, and how these benefits trade off against the cost of discarding a card.  
  
A strong contender with {{Card|Fishing Village}} and {{Card|Border Village}} for the best of the “[[villages]]” in the game. It doesn’t have Fishing Village’s crazy Actions, or Border Village’s free {{Cost|5}} card, or even the word “Village” in its name, but it does offer +Buy, a critically underrated component of an +Action/+Cards [[engine]].

The fact that you have to discard means that {{Card|Worker's Village}} is usually better, but since you’re mostly building an engine around Actions, the forced discard is rarely an issue: the whole point of Action combo engines is that you don’t need all the cards in your hand — just a few key ones.  Sometimes it even works to your benefit (e.g., {{Card|Tunnel}}, {{Card|Library}}).  The key, though, is the price: Hamlet’s price makes it easy to grab two with {{Cost|4}} and two buys. And where do you get those buys from?  Oh, right, the Hamlets. Self-synergy is generally a surefire recipe to the top of these rankings.

===English versions===
Hamlet is also perfect with draw-up-to-X engines built on {{Card|Watchtower}} and {{Card|Library}}. These may be excruciatingly slow to play online, since each Hamlet forces two decisions for what to discard, but can be very powerful even with low trashing, since the Hamlets can discard your {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} and {{Card|Estate|Estates}} and let your Libraries find your good card.  Hamlet is a bit weaker with straight draw cards, like {{Card|Smithy}}, as you do not know ahead of time whether you'll need the action or buy, and in these cases there is a cost and no benefit associated with the discarding.

Hamlet is less beneficial with thin decks or heavy trashing (like {{Card|Chapel}}), because you will usually have fewer unwanted cards to discard, but Hamlet can still benefit these decks, and it can still enable faster building of engines.

  • First draw a card, and get +1 Action.
  • Then you may either discard one card to get another +1 Action; or you may discard one card to get +1 Buy; or you may discard two cards and get both +1 Action and +1 Buy; or you may discard no cards at all.
  • You only get the extra +1 Action or +1 Buy if you actually discarded a card for it.
  • You cannot discard multiple cards to get multiple +Actions or multiple +Buys.
