Architects of the West Kingdom, by Garphill Games, is the first game in a new trilogy following the North Sea saga (which included , and ). This time, the setting moves to 850AD at the end of the Carolingian Empire, in France, where players take the role of royal architects and vie with each other to construct buildings in their town and contribute to the prestigious cathedral.

There are numerous strategies to employ, and players can choose to lead a virtuous existence or take a nefarious path, delving into the black market and robbing the tax stand.

Like Raiders of the North Sea, Architects of the West Kingdom is a worker placement game where you will put your workers on the board to activate benefits and collect resources. To make things interesting, game designers Shem Phillips and S.J. Macdonald have incorporated a number of exciting new mechanics. Most of the locations on the board can accommodate an unlimited amount of workers and each time you add another worker to a location the number of resources you can collect increases.

Players start the game with a full complement of 20 workers and leave them on the locations when they place them. Workers are not returned to you after use - you can visit the town hall to capture groups of opposing workers and then sell them to the guardhouse for a profit or choose to round-up your own workers for use later in the game.

The virtue track is another intriguing element to this game - you can lead an honest existence and enjoy contributing to the cathedral or you can decide to get monetary discounts (by paying less tax) and frequent the black market to get cheap building materials but it may lead to the accrual of debts. However, your virtue will only be judged at the end of the game so there may be time to change your ways.

While comfortably playing two to five players, Architects of the West Kingdom also comes with a deck of AI (Artificial Intelligence) cards so you can play the game solo against the AI or with a friend and the AI in a three-way battle for dominance.

Architects of the West Kingdom is a thoroughly enjoyable game with easy-to-learn rules but with numerous paths to victory and a high level of strategy. It is perfect for experienced gamers and new players alike. Visit the West Kingdom - you might want to stay!

Good and can be used in many dishes.
These are pretty good mussels they have not been smoked or anything added to it but mussels, water and salt. Since they are packed like that, you can use them in a variety of dishes. I would buy them again but only when they're on sale because they are pricey.

Meaty and flavorful
I ate these straight from the tin at room temperature, sometimes sopping up the extra liquid with decent bread. I purchased these because I wanted to try an alternative to the King Oscar. I've tried a couple different kinds of mackerel over the years, and while the King Oscar has been the best I find their olive oil varieties to be a bit acrid. Not so with these Otter Kingdom fillets. Theses are actual fillets, so they are larger and meatier, and in my experience they have a looser grain than the mackerel I'm used to. They are high-quality, so I'm not detecting any bones and there's no formaldehyde-flavor, no imperfections in the cut. The oil is quite thin/watery and fairly small in volume. This isn't an issue for me, if anything I'd say it's welcome as it doesn't overpower the fish. These make a great compliment to my tinned fish rotation, which includes tuna, squid/octopus, sardines, cod liver, oysters, and sometimes sprats, salmon, and trout. The price is better than King Oscar, so I can have it more regularly without feeling like I'm being immoderate. Would recommend.

Excellent quality, but close to expiry date
I am basically repeating what another reviewer said in 2024, that the quality of these mackerel fillets is excellent except the expiry date of the case I received is only 6 months away, whereas similar products are shipping with expiry dates 4 years away. And my review comes 2 years after the one in 2024, so apparently this has not changed. Otherwise, I would definitely have given 5 stars. Regardless, I went ahead and ordered more, because that is how tasty they are and selling at a good price.

Delicious, healthy lunches!
Really tasty mackerel. I concur with other reviewers, it's a healthy slab of fish I like to drop on a bed of crushed corn chips, fork-flake it and chow down. Better than just about any other off the shelf grocery store brand.
