Players must gather 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 will you be found keeping company with thieves and black market traders?The goal of Architects of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points at the end of the game. Points are earned by constructing various buildings and advancing work on the Archbishop's cathedral. Throughout the game, players have to make many moral decisions. However, their virtue will only be judged at the end of the game. A few shady deals here and there may not seem like much, but fall too far and you will be punished. The game ends when a certain number of constructions have been completed.
