Step into the shoes of a noble in a declining kingdom with Viscounts of the West Kingdom. Set around 980 AD, the once-strong king offers gold and land to enemies in exchange for peace, leading to a loss of faith among his people. As a viscount, you must navigate this turbulent period, balancing loyalty to the crown with the need to gain favor among the populace.
In this strategic game, players aim to accumulate the most victory points by constructing buildings, writing manuscripts, working in the castle, and acquiring deeds for new land. Each turn, players travel around the kingdom, increasing their influence in various areas of society. The game ends once the kingdom reaches either poverty or prosperity, or potentially both.
Designed for 1–4 players aged 12 and up, Viscounts of the West Kingdom offers a rich, immersive experience with a playtime of 60–90 minutes. It’s the third game in the West Kingdom Trilogy, following Architects of the West Kingdom and Paladins of the West Kingdom.
