Board Game Arena

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.

The game is too deep to be described here, but you can learn it in no-time by playing the tutorial available right here

We would like to thank Garphill Games, the publisher, as well as the game designers S.J. Macdonal and Shem Phillips for their authorization to publish the game on our platform, and of course, the magnificent work done by Mistergos developing it. It's big, but totally playable on most devices.

That's it for today!

Thank you, guys! It´s a really nice game. Can I ask about the expansions? When they will be avaible?

Fun game and great work on the implementation!

Heck yeah! I love this game!

I'm so excited to have a great game from the Garphill Games' library on BGA!

I LOVE YOU!

Is the knight on the right in the image disguised as Ned Flanders?

Or, is that Ned Flanders disguised as the knight...?

You've been on the site for a couple of years, already, but maybe haven't been paying attention to headlines page very much; Finding Ned in the new game promos is a long-running gag. This one is just particularly obvious.

Hi! I have played the solo and it seems it's not working yet. Is that right?

It feels like I'm not playing against the automata at all.
