## Description
Paladins of the West Kingdom: King Dan is a 2020 expansion that adds a new Townsfolk card, King Dan, to the base game. Whenever you discard a Townsfolk card, King Dan forces you to also discard a Suspicion card, creating a cascading effect that can swing the game. The Open Drafting mechanic lets players buy cards from a common pool, while Worker Placement with Different Worker Types means each worker has unique abilities, forcing you to think carefully where to place them. The medieval theme shows up in castle and knight artwork, and the expansion was launched via Kickstarter, giving it a community‑backed feel. If you love strategy games with a lot of player interaction and cards that shift turn dynamics, this expansion will hit the spot. Playtime is 90–120 minutes for 1–4 players, with medium complexity, ideal for those who already know the base game and want a tougher challenge.
