## Description
Viscounts of the West Kingdom: King Dan Promo arrives as a special Kickstarter reward from the Game Boy Geek campaign, yet it has a real effect on the base game. When you place the King Dan card on your personal board, you immediately gain one resource of your choice – no waiting for turns or meeting conditions. This swift boost can be the spark needed to complete a set or get ahead on the Rondel. The expansion retains the light‑hearted feel of Viscounts of the West Kingdom, featuring deck, bag and pool building, modular board, and the iconic Rondel that governs actions. The unique twist is King Dan's variable power, granting an instant bonus and reinforcing set‑collection strategy. Since the base game is already quick (60‑90 minutes) and very accessible (weight 1/5), this promotional card fits in as an extra that doesn’t complicate anything but adds a dash of surprise. Perfect for 1‑4 players looking for a fast game with the charm of an exclusive Kickstarter item. If you don’t own the base game yet, you’ll need it, as the card works only within it. In short, King Dan is a small yet valuable upgrade that makes the experience even more fun without raising the learning curve.
