Overview

In Viscounts of the West Kingdom: Keeper of Keys, court intrigue and treasure hunting collide in a compact expansion that invites careful negotiation and clever planning. You already manage a bustling tableau; Keeper of Keys adds new layers without overshadowing the base game. This expansion requires the base Viscounts of the West Kingdom to play.

What’s Included

• Thick player boards with slots for Chest Tiles to expand tableau management.
• Three public buildings offering unique abilities and rewards.
• A mechanism to gain more Hero Townsfolk into your deck for deeper turns and combos.
• Rules and components designed to harmonize with the core game.

Gameplay Depth

• The Chest Tiles slot into the sturdy boards, introducing new resource decisions and timing choices.
• Public buildings act as strategic hubs, prompting you to balance personal goals with rival moves.
• Adding Townsfolk to your deck can unlock additional actions and potential chain effects across rounds.

Production and feel matter here: the tactile boards, crisp tiles, and well-crafted components contribute to a tangible, thematic experience as you maneuver through castle politics, forge alliances, and seek hidden treasures. The expansion is designed to integrate with established rules, so you can preserve the rhythm you already enjoy while exploring fresh avenues for scoring and control.

Setup tips and practical notes: plan your first few rounds around the new buildings, test the timing of your Townsfolk acquisitions, and coordinate with teammates or rivals to test competing strategies. Keeper of Keys offers possibilities, not guarantees, for how your session might unfold.
