Architects of the West Kingdom
Architects of the West Kingdom is set at the end of the Carolingian Empire, circa 850 AD. As royal architects, players compete to impress their King and maintain their noble status by constructing various landmarks throughout his newly appointed domain. Players need to collect raw materials, hire apprentices, and keep a watchful eye on their workforce. These are treacherous times, and rival architects will stop at nothing to slow your progress. Will you remain virtuous, or be found in the company of thieves and black marketeers?

The aim of Architects of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at game's end. Points are gained by constructing various buildings and advancing work on the Archbishop's cathedral. Throughout the game, players need to make a lot of moral decisions. However, only at game's end will their virtue be judged. A few underhand deals here and there might not seem like much, but fall too far and you will be punished. The game ends once a set number of constructions have been completed.

Wonderful game with outstanding solo-play.
I think about this game often, it will most likely end up in my collection. I like the interaction and unique worker placement.

Un colocación trabajadores, de la saga de saqueadores del norte y similares, que, como siempre, introduce alguna variación sobre la mecánica principal. En este caso, está la posibilidad de "secuestrar" trabajadores de otros jugadores. Está curioso. Además, tiene un track de virtud, que en función de tu nivel de virtud te limita el uso de diveras acciones (Por ejemplo, si tienes mucha virtud, no puedes acudir al mercado negro, y si no tienes mucha virtud, puedes evadir impuestos pero no puedes contribuir a construir la catedral). Admite hasta cinco jugadores y está bastante entretenido. Sin ser
a good work placement with interesting arrest/abduction mechanic to keep people placing workers
