Fans of strategy and worker placement games can rejoice! Renowned designers S J Macdonald and Shem Phillips, along with illustrator Andrew Bosley and publisher Garphill Games, have teamed up once again to deliver Paladins of Highcrown. A modern reimplementation of the acclaimed Paladins of the West Kingdom, this new title promises to take 1 to 4 players on an even more epic and strategic adventure, with engaging sessions lasting between 100 and 200 minutes.
The narrative unfolds at the heart of the city of Highcrown, home to the ancient World Tree that watches over all of Coroneth. While the Paladins have guarded the realm for a thousand years, dark forces are now emerging: once-gentle creatures turn savage, villages are attacked, and an unknown evil stirs beneath the earth. Faced with this impending threat, the Paladins and townsfolk must rally together to protect the World Tree and restore peace.
Gameplay-wise, the core objective remains securing the most Victory Points over 5 intense rounds. Each round, players enlist the help of a new Paladin and manage their workers and resources to carry out various actions: boosting their attributes, supplying battlefields, taming wild beasts, or inspiring the local population. Combining rigorous planning with rich thematic immersion, Paladins of Highcrown is shaping up to be a must-have for fans of complex tactical challenges!
