Miami Dice: Architects of the West Kingdom 

Idd! I wondered about that too. First game that comes to mind is Blood Rage. Don't know if there been any since.

I believe the Kickstarter came with 5 free Promos, don't quote me on that though.

Kickstarter comes with promos of 3 extra building cards, 3 extra apprentices, 3 new crew cards for Raiders, 5 additional player boards (with extra variable player powers), and walls for the tax stand. All of these you can also buy afterwards anyway. Also kickstarter got discounted metal coins. So nothing exclusive, but several optional extras that others would have to pay for.

Yeah but, it's not like there are exclusives components, like whole expansions. Promos can usually be aquired.

Yep. All promos will be available to buy. Just meant those who kickstarted got those for free.

It'll be available at ESSEN, so right around then.

I kickstarted someone to pat my back for me. :-P

What can I say except you're welcome For the tides, the sun, the sky Hey, it's okay, it's okay You're welcome

Sam and Shem the game designers have been using the term "Worker Investment" as a more precise explanation of the game mechanism.

During the kickstarter campaign Shem and Sam did a live stream. They played 2 games of 2 player in 40 minutes. Two player is really tense as you are more able to keep track of what the other person is doing. You can also add the bot to make it a 3 player game. In my opinion this game plays well at all player counts, although I prefer more because it is more social and interactive the more people there are. Even at 4 or 5 it is quick (as long as there are no analysis paralysis players). Be aware the first play can be long... but once people know how to play it will rarely go more than an hour.

I'd be keen to see this!

Alexandre Bernard Thanks!

Hi Doug, this video is not by the same people but it gives a great overview of the Solo Variant: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7daLoLtmk_w.html

I wanted to sooo badly, but I restrained myself...it was like nails on a chalkboard every time he said it...but I kept my mouth shut. I was a good boy...until now...

@@SamHealey6 hahaha I thought I noticed you subtly emphasize the pronunciation at the beginning of the intro. Of all the Tom-isms, that one is more annoying to me as well.

LOL! So trivial! Love it!

Art is highly subjective, and that’s a good thing

You aren't the only one. I'm happy for those who like it, but for me it's a huge deterrent in buying a game.

Mikos artwork is being extremely overused since the Valeria games. All games look like the same game.

I like the art but I agree it's getting over used.

You might not like it but objectivly it is very well made from a technical standpoint.

I think it looks great
