    You get a lot of game crammed into a small box! Great artwork and production and the individual player boards are a joy to use. I just found myself a little overwhelmed by having too much going on - rows and rows of cards in different places each with multiple possible uses. I felt it would play a little quicker and smoother if either there were fewer cards or the cards weren't multi-use. As it is, turns could sometimes drag as players grappled with AP when presented with so many options. Happy to play again, perhaps familiarity would reduce the AP.

    First play impressions, so take with a huge grain of salt. Of the trilogy, I've enjoyed this one the least so far. I felt like it created less of a story than the other two, not allowing me to really get into the gameplay. While other players can block you or take things you want, I also didn't like how low-interaction this game was. It's not a bad game by any means, but it felt bland. The experience was partially colored by a player immediately getting several strong flip-debt abilities and proceeding to gain massive benefits from them all game, therefore running away with it. I tried to do the best I could, but it was clear very early on that we were playing for second place. I would still give it another shot as I do think my opinion on it may shift as I get more familiar with the game, but I do wish I'd tried it before buying it.

Paladins of the West Kingdom is set at a turbulent time of West Francia’s story, circa 900 AD. Despite recent efforts to develop the city, outlying townships are still under threat from outsiders. Saracens scout the borders, while Vikings plunder wealth and livestock. Even the Byzantines from the east have shown their darker side. As noble men and women, players must gather workers from the city to defend against enemies, build fortifications and spread faith throughout the land. Fortunately you are not alone. In his great wisdom, the King has sent his finest knights to help aid in our efforts. So ready the horses and sharpen the swords. The Paladins are approaching.

The aim of Paladins of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at game’s end. Points are gained by building outposts and fortifications, commissioning monks and confronting outsiders. Each round, players will enlist the help of a specific Paladin and gather workers to carry out tasks. As the game progresses, players will slowly increase their faith, strength and influence. Not only will these affect their final score, but they will also determine the significance of their actions. The game is concluded at the end of the seventh round.
