Paladins of the West Kingdom - Board game (Dutch edition)

Paladins of the West Kingdom is set in a turbulent time in the West Frankish Kingdom, around the year 900. Despite fierce attempts to build up the city, surrounding municipalities are threatened by outsiders. Saracens explore the borders, while the Vikings plunder wealth and livestock. Even the Byzantines from the East show their dark side. As noble men and women, the players try to hire workers from the city to defend themselves against enemies, build fortifications and spread the faith across the land. Fortunately you are not alone. The king, as a wise man, has sent his best knights to help with our efforts. Saddle the horses, sharpen the swords, the paladins are coming.

The player with the most victory points (VP) at the end of the game is the winner. Victory points can be earned by building outposts and fortifications, sending out monks and confronting outsiders. Each round players ask for help from a specific paladin and hire workers to carry out tasks. During the game faith, strength and influence will slowly rise. Not only does this affect the number of victory points, it also determines the strength of your actions. The game ends at the end of the 7th round.
