Since 2022, Viscounts of the West Kingdom: Gates of Gold has captivated fans of deck building and area control with its heavy complexity design.
How It Plays
Area Majority / Influence
You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.
Deck, Bag, and Pool Building
You start with a basic set of cards or tokens and gradually add better ones — watch your engine grow stronger over time.
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Rondel
Actions are arranged in a circle, and your token moves around it — where you stop determines what you can do.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
Solo / Solitaire Game
You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.
