Despite recent efforts to develop the city, outlying townships are still under threat from outsiders. Saracens scout the borders, while Vikings plunder wealth and livestock. Even the Byzantines from the east have shown their darker side. As noble men and women, players must gather workers from the city to defend against enemies, build fortifications and spread faith throughout the land. Fortunately you are not alone. In his great wisdom, the King has sent his finest knights to help aid in our efforts. So ready the horses and sharpen the swords. The Paladins are approaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaladins of the West Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at game's end. Points are gained by building outposts and fortifications, commissioning monks and confronting outsiders. Each round, players will enlist the help of a specific Paladin and gather workers to carry out tasks. As the game progresses, players will slowly increase their faith, strength and influence. Not only will these affect their final score, but they will also determine the significance of their actions. The game is concluded at the end of the seventh round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Honors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2020 SXSW Tabletop Game of the Year Winner\u003cbr\u003e2020 Kennerspiel des Jahres Recommended\u003cbr\u003e2019 Meeples Choice Award Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2019 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2019 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2019 Golden Geek Best Board Game Artwork \u0026amp; Presentation Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2019 Cardboard Republic Tactician Laurel Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 62.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 23.6px;\"\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 23.6px;\"\u003e1 - 4\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e12+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003eTime:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e90- 120 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Garphill Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44267851415728,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/3121\/4512\/files\/paladins-of-the-west-kingdom.gif?v=1751259871","url":"https:\/\/www.beadndgames.co.nz\/products\/paladins-of-the-west-kingdom","provider":"Bea DnD Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
