Viscounts of the West Kingdom

Around the year 980, the king's realm slowly begins to falter. Once a strong leader, he now chooses peace and offers his enemies gold and land. But peace is fragile. As poverty spreads, more and more people turn away from the king. As a viscount, you stand right in the middle of this unrest. You must stay loyal to the crown, but also win the favour of the people. Because who knows where the power will lie tomorrow? In Viscounts of the West Kingdom you travel around the kingdom and try to gain influence everywhere. You put up buildings, write manuscripts, work in the castle and collect deeds for new land. You start with a handful of ordinary villagers, but soon you go looking for people with special talents to help you along. Every decision you make brings you closer to victory. The game ends as soon as the kingdom falls into poverty or rises to prosperity, and sometimes even both. Whoever has collected the most points then wins. A rich game full of choices for two to four players, and it also plays well solo. Will you take on the challenge?
