🏰 Architects of The West Kingdom was created by New Zealand designers Shem Phillips and S J Macdonald, this captivating game marks the beginning of the West Kingdom series trilogy. 🎲

Set against the backdrop of the Carolingian Empire's decline in 850 AD, players step into the shoes of royal architects, vying to impress their king and solidify their noble status by constructing landmarks within his newly established fiefdom. 💼 But beware—the times are treacherous, and rival architects will stop at nothing to hinder your progress.

Architects of The West Kingdom employs a dynamic worker placement mechanism, where players strategically deploy their workforce of 20 workers to various locations. From gathering raw materials to hiring apprentices, every decision counts as you manage your labor force amidst the rich tapestry of the game's narrative . 🏗️ With multiple scoring routes and endless strategic possibilities, each playthrough promises a new and immersive experience! 🌈
