About the game
What you do in a play session
Architects of the West Kingdom: Dice Tower 2020 Promo Pack is a lightweight, fun expansion that adds new cards and dice to the already beloved city‑building game. The pack introduces three bonus cards that change how players acquire resources and optimize workshop usage. The Artist card gives an extra marble and silver every time you collect one, while Foreman lets you treat the workshop as if it had two extra workers, speeding up production. The Journeyman card rewards building construction by granting additional silver. These simple mechanics fit perfectly into the worker‑allocation and set‑collection flow, keeping decisions tense and the pace brisk. High‑quality components—custom dice and nicely illustrated cards—enhance the medieval theme of the series. The expansion is ideal for those who already own the base game and want to test new resource bonuses without adding too much complexity. Gameplay stays around 60‑80 minutes with 1‑5 players, preserving the balance between strategy and luck. If you enjoy experimenting with new ways to earn resources and accelerate production, this expansion will be a great addition. The Dice Tower production guarantees durable pieces and an attractive visual design. In short, the Dice Tower 2020 Promo Pack offers a fresh, accessible experience for fans looking for more variety in the West Kingdom universe. When you play with the Promo Pack, you’ll notice that the extra resources from the Artist card often allow you to skip a dice roll, giving you a smoother progression toward your goals. Foreman’s double‑worker effect can turn a single‑worker turn into a mini‑festival of actions, a trick that pays off in the late game when building slots are scarce. Journeyman’s silver bonus also nudges players toward completing building sets, encouraging a more focused strategy. Together, these cards keep the game lively, add a layer of tactical planning, and provide a subtle boost to the already engaging rhythm of Architects of the West Kingdom.
