Viscounts of the West Kingdom is set at a time when the King’s reign began to decline, circa 980 AD. Choosing peace over prosperity, our once strong King began offering our enemies gold and land to lay down their axes. But peace is a tenuous affair. As poverty spread, many people lost faith in his ability to lead and sought independence from the crown. Since finding favour in his courts, our future has also become uncertain. As viscounts, we must be wise and decisive. Loyalty is to be upheld, but gaining favour among the people must be our priority, should there be a sudden shift in power.
The aim of Viscounts of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at game’s end. Points are gained by constructing buildings, writing manuscripts, working in the castle and acquiring deeds for new land. Players begin with a handful of townsfolk, but should quickly seek out more suitable talents to advance their endeavours. Each turn they will be travelling around the kingdom, looking to increase their influence among the various areas of society. The game ends once the Kingdom reaches poverty or prosperity – or potentially both!

Good game with well-interlocked mechanisms. Seems like each game in the series gets progressively more fiddly and complex. As usual, good iconography and fantastic art. Glad to have played this but would never own it (too complex for me).

the third child of the West Kingdom is the second one I have played and although it's a complete other game than paladins it has the same complexity. But to my feeling the decisions are less hard than in paladins because here you have to be more opportunistic because of your laid cards. Our first game was finished rather fast so I have to play it again to reconsider. During the second game I had a better feeling because we were more kwown to the rules and knew better what to try. Begin to like it.
