by Dean Fuller

‘Paladins of the West Kingdom’ Board Game Review

by Matthew Smail

When it comes to the various similarly themed games from Shem Phillips and Garphill Games, I have to admit to having had a mixed experience so far. I really enjoyed Raiders of the North Sea, but Shipwrights of the North Sea left me cold enough that I felt no inclination to return to the series. […]
