Description

Saracens probe 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 the faith throughout the land. Fortunately, you are not alone. In his great wisdom, the king has sent his finest knights to help us in our efforts. So ready your horses and sharpen your swords. The Paladins are approaching.The goal of Paladins of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points at the end of the game. Points are earned by building outposts and fortifications, recruiting monks and dealing with outsiders. Each round, players will enlist the help of a particular 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, they will also determine the significance of their actions. The game ends at the end of the seventh round.
