This one took me the longest to grok out of the 3 West Kingdom games (I think these productions have reached peak iconography levels, and the rulebook hurt my brain), but after a couple of plays this is definitely a keeper (I'm a solo gamer). Not yet sure where it ranks among the 3, but this is really good.

(3.4) I want to like it, but it feels too complicated without being fun. Gimmicky even? And tedious. Felt like a point salad.
