About the game

What you do in a play session

Architects of the West Kingdom: Promo Paradise Card Set is a small expansion that adds two brand‑new building cards originally offered as Kickstarter rewards. The first card, "Spotlight," lets you draw three cards and keep one, giving you a quick way to sift through options and lock in the piece that best fits your plan. The second, "Pool of Martyn," costs two silver coins but grants one Virtue, presenting a modest economic trade‑off: spend immediate resources for a longer‑term benefit. Both cards slot neatly into the core mechanics of the base game—Open Drafting, Set Collection, Variable Player Powers, and Worker Placement—expanding tactical choices without steepening the learning curve. With the base game’s light 2/5 weight, this addition keeps the experience breezy and approachable, perfect for 60‑80 minute sessions with 1‑5 players. Components are high‑quality, artwork matches the series, and the text is concise, making the cards easy to remember. In short, the set offers extra drafting options and a tiny resource‑management twist while preserving the medieval city‑building feel that fans love. If you already own the base game, these two cards are a cheap, thematic upgrade worth tucking into your deck.
