Paladins of The West Kingdom: 1-4 Player Strategy Board Game, Ages 12+, 90-120 Min Play Time

Paladins of the West Kingdom is set in a turbulent period of West Francia's history, circa 900 AD. Despite recent efforts to develop the city, outlying townships remain 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, the players are not alone. In his great wisdom, the King has sent his finest Knights to help aid in their efforts.

The aim of Paladins of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at the end of the game. 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. These attributes will not only affect their final score but will also determine the significance of their actions.

The game is concluded at the end of the seventh round and can be played by 1-4 players, ages 12 and up, with a playing time of 90-120 minutes. Players must ready the horses and sharpen the swords, as the Paladins are approaching to defend the city from increasing threats.

The game offers multiple paths to victory, thanks to the suspicion system, attribute tracks, and a wide array of potential townsfolk and outsider combinations. The player interaction is just the right amount, with no "take-that" mechanisms, and the solo play mode is intuitive and easy to use.
