Viscounts of the Western Kingdom is set in a time when the power of the king is declining. The once fearless king chooses peace over prosperity. He offers his enemies gold and land in exchange for laying down their weapons. But this peace is fragile. As poverty continues to grow, many people lose faith in the king and turn away from the monarchy. Everyone is dependent on the king and the future is uncertain. The viscounts must be wise and decisive. They must appear loyal, but the favor of the people is the top priority in case of a change of power.

Viscounts of the Western Kingdom is a worker-placement game where you try to increase your influence in the different areas of the kingdom as you travel through the kingdom. Earn victory points by building buildings and writing manuscripts. Viscounts of the Western Kingdom is the third part in the “Western Kingdom” trilogy.
