Abstract mechanics, especially the castle. Almost no engine - get resources, spend resources, repeat. Several small rules and interactions convolutes the gaming experience. The weakest game in the trilogy.

A játék címe valami váras dolog. Kellemes, 4 fős játék. Piros és kék úgy gondolta, hogy a címet adó pontforrás jó dolog. A sárga és a zöld úgy érezte, hogy az áhított 100 pontot inkább úgy érik el, ha elengedik ezt. Végeredmény: 101,99,75,73,utolsó két helyen a várért küzdők. Többieknek nem első játék. Könnyebb volt a nem interaktív forrásokból pontokat írni. Emellett a játék macerás, sok könyveléssel jár a komplexitásához képest, és ezen nem segít a szabálykönyv sem. Élveztük, de a szériától többet vártunk.

A rewarding deck builder with a great decision space. This is a game where it you can really tailor your deck to fit your chosen strategy. A three card hand seems limiting for a deck-builder at first, but between your rotating tableau and plentiful bonuses on the board, there are always options available to nudge things your way. Like Paladins, the rules seem overly complex at first, but are easily internalised and the gameplay loop is smooth and addictive.

Viscounts can overstay it's welcome if nobody is actively pushing towards the end game conditions. And there seems to be little incentive to do that, as it is a lot easier to score points in-game than trigger debt/deed card draws. A shame, as this could be the best of the West Kingdom series if the late game didn't drag so much.

Props to the designers for making the automa easy to operate, while still feeling like a real (cheating) opponent.
