Category: Base Game

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!

Lucy I. ★★★★★

The manuscript-writing track hooked me way more than I expected, and juggling castle spots against building construction keeps every turn tense. Took us about two hours with three players, but nobody was checking the clock.

Samuel K. ★★★★★

Even after a dozen plays, the balance between writing manuscripts and pushing your workers into the castle keeps every round tense. The way your hand size shrinks as you accumulate VP is a brutal, clever twist that makes me second-guess every single turn. This one’s earned a permanent spot on my tab

Avery A. ★★★★★

The push-and-pull between building and writing manuscripts keeps every turn tense, and finishing a castle action chain feels incredibly rewarding. My first game ran about 90 minutes with three players, and I immediately wanted to reset and try a different strategy path.
