The King’s Guard is a pretty interesting expansion. At it’s heart, it is a series of events that trigger good events that you might want to take advantage of and bad events you can’t avoid. But moreover,  It will trigger the arrival of a new kind of troop, the king’s guard. Unlike the typical 7 or 8 citizens, this card triggers on BOTH 7 and 8, and that can really change game dynamics on the back half.
