About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, kingdom dwellers! If you're a fan of Viscounts of the West Kingdom and always looking for a way to spice up your games, check out this promotional card! The Courier brings two ability options to give your plays that extra boost. The first lets you reset your discard pile, shuffling everything back into your draw pile. It's perfect for when you need to recover those key cards that have gone to waste. You just need at least one card in your discard pile to activate it, got it? The second option is for those who want to clear out their hand or draw pile: discard two cards and you're done! If, by chance, your draw pile has disappeared, no worries, you can shuffle your discards to make the discard happen. This card is one of those that adds nice flexibility, whether to power up your deck or get rid of unwanted cards. It's a little bonus that came with Spielbox and makes a difference for those who like more control or strategic options. Ideal for giving that special touch to your medieval campaigns and showing who rules the kingdom!
