Game Viscounts of the Western Kingdom
The Viscounts of the Western Kingdom is another game from Shem Philips in the game-winning series of the Western Kingdoms, distinguished by medieval themes, intuitive mechanics of worker management and distinctive beautiful graphics. The Viscounts are another basic version of the game in this series, which does not require components from any previously released title to play a full game.
In the Viscounts of the West Kingdom, each player's goal is to have as many Victory Points (VPs) as possible at the end of the game. Points are earned by erecting Buildings, rewriting Manuscripts, working in the Castle and incorporating new lands into Lenno. The players start the game with a group of Townsmen, but immediately start looking for people with talents more suited to their intentions. Each turn, players will travel through the kingdom, looking for opportunities to increase their influence among the various strata of society. The game ends when the Kingdom becomes impoverished or prosperous - and even both!
