  Architects of the West Kingdom is my favorite of this trilogy. I've had it for a couple years and more recently started playing with both of its expansion. Also, I just tried Paladins and Viscounts for the first time a few months ago. I got in a few plays of each, and I felt lukewarm about Paladins, but Viscounts was pretty fun.

  Thanks for the playthrough! (I've been wanting to solo this for a while.) A question: At 38:09, you trigger the castle action. You spend two mother of pearl to move a courier up into the castle. You take the corresponding card and trigger the section that gives you two MOP to replace the ones you just spent. I thought your turn was over there. But then you move your courier up another level. Don't you need a castle action to move your courier again? I didn't think receiving MOP translates into getting a castle action; you're just receiving the resources. (This happened another time earlier in the game, so that's why I'm querying it. Want to make sure I'm playing the game correctly.)

• 
  @eNVyBoardGaming2 ай бұрын

  Hey there James! Thanks for dropping by my friend! I watched the section you called out to see what happened in the game. When you do the castle action, you get two actions. While it’s more efficient to move up twice by spending 5 pearls (counts as only 1 of the two actions), I didn’t have the pearls to do that. I had two pearls, so I moved up once. When I moved up, I got two more pearls, so with my 2nd castle action I spent those to move up again. Hope that helps! N

• 
  @jamesmorgan19672 ай бұрын

  @@eNVyBoardGaming I think the two actions in the Castle are 1) Requesting an audience (paying 2 coins to place a Courier at the Gate) and 2) Social Climbing (paying 2 or 5 MOP to move the Courier up in the Castle). Regarding the actions, the rulebook says you can take "either just one of them, or both once each, even using different Courier pieces." So if I'm not mistaken, I think you're allowed to do one of each action, but you can't do two Social Climbing actions during a single Castle move.

• 
  @eNVyBoardGaming2 ай бұрын

  I’ll be honest, I’m not sure who is correct here, James. I’ve read that section in the rules over and over again and I can’t determine what they actually meant. The wording is so poor that I’m really questioning it. “Courtiers allow you to carry out up to two of these different actions:” So there I was thinking you’re right.. then it’s saying these are the two different actions “either just one of them, or both, one each.”.. then I think OK, I think I’m playing right. I did just one of them. So it depends if they mean, one of the choices is to do the same action or if they’re saying one action one time. I’m thinking you’re correct, though I could’ve sworn I’ve seen the official teach done and two couriers were purchased for 4 coins, which would violate that rule. Either way, great query, I’d like to know the correct answer, and if you’re correct, why would that be the design choice for that. Seems like a needless rule to me, but what do I know? N

  @eVanDiesel2 ай бұрын

  I mostly agree with you. It's lucky (dice rolls without very much mitigation and many random card draws), its long (our first 3 player game took 3 hours to teach and play!), its unbalanced (some of those items were borderline game breaking). But dang it, we had fun! We REALLY enjoyed the wacky story events and enjoyed reading and laughing at them even when they burned us. Those made it for us! We did get the deluxe with the expansions and it at least doubles all the card piles. It's not going to be a game we are going to play very often, but it's so beautiful and still FUN! (Fun enough anyway). I'd probably round up to a 7. Also, we really hated the take-that type cards and buried them at the bottom of the deck when we drew one.

• 
  @eNVyBoardGaming2 ай бұрын

  Nice! We missed out on the story events portion that you enjoyed. When we played it wasn’t too long, I tended to rush game end with reputation thanks to some items and those other feature cards that got you additional rep. Plus, as I said, we weren’t reading the story stuff on events either. We didn’t get any use out of the “take that cards” either. They’d actually help your opponent typically as they’d simply turn those into positive points with a feature. N
