Description
This exciting new expansion adds the Princess and Profiteer characters and Wonders to build for additional victory points. Also added is an influence board extension to the right of the main board. Influence points will be available substitutes for coins, silver or marble or in place of losing virtue. Also included on the influence board extension are new contribution/consequences cards that determine where the princess and profiteer are located, and provides awards or penalties if worker markers are at board locations where the princess and profiteer markers are visiting when the black market reset takes place. In addition to constructing buildings, there are now five wonder cards and their corresponding wooden markers that are available for building in order to provide significant additional victory points. Because there are new resources and options available, the extension adds six new player boards, which are necessary for playing the advanced user mode. Six new solo mode opponents and the addition of 24 scheme cards (a dedicated feature of solo play) provide a better solo experience. Finally, there are 24 additional apprentice and building cards as well as 12 reward cards. Overall, this great expansion adds complexity, interest and FUN to this already great game. Works of Wonder requires the base game of Architects of the West Kingdom and can be used with or without the Age of Artisan Expansion. For 1-5 players (6 players if played with Age of Artisans), with a playtime of 60-80 minutes.
Publisher's Description of Architects of the West Kingdom Game: Works of Wonder Expansion
In Architects of the West Kingdom: Works of Wonder, builders from far and wide have travelled to partake in the King’s latest endeavour - five glorious monuments to beautify the city. However, not just any architect can be entrusted with such a task. Only those of influence and charitable reputation shall receive this great honour. Will you accompany the Princess as she surveys the projects, or rally support from the elusive Profiteer?
Architects of the West Kingdom: Works of Wonder is an expansion. Architects of the West Kingdom is required to play.
Category Description for Architects of the West Kingdom
Issued in 2018, this game is the first in the West Kingdom Series published by Garphill Games. It takes place in 850 AD in the Carolingian Empire, which was ruled by Frankish aristocrats and was the largest western territory since the fall of Rome. This was a period of increased cultural activity, with rises in literacy, architecture, and scriptural studies. It is then fitting that the goals of this game are to gain victory points by building up facets of both the city and its culture.
In this worker-placement game for 1-5 players, gain resources to build structures and landmarks, such as the Armory and Treasury, for game-end points; hire apprentices to gain additional actions and abilities; or go to the black market for resources that cost you virtue in the eyes of the kingdom. Don’t forget to help build the cathedral to gain virtue and victory points! When you place buildings or help build the cathedral, your workers gather in the guildhall, and once the last worker is placed there, the end of the game is triggered. The player with the most points wins!
As the first game in the West Kingdom trilogy, which also includes Viscounts of the West Kingdom and Paladins of the West Kingdom, Architects is the least complex mechanically, easiest to learn, and plays in 60-80 minutes. It has a nice solo mode, and its two expansions, Age of Artisans and Works of Wonder, add variety and new challenges. I highly recommend the entire West Kingdom series! ~ Marsha
