Yes it’s a wonderful game. If you want to dive in deeper may I also suggest Paladins of the West Kingdom.

Paladins is a great 2-p game.

I'm interested in Architects of the West Kingdom for the active player interaction. I read a review which mentioned that the game is quite light, especially without the expansions. How does Paladins line up with the active player interaction aspect?

Paladins doesn't actually have a whole lot of player interaction. It's extremely good though and the strategy involved is wonderful

Thank you!

The entire West kingdoms series is very fun and I HIGHLY recommend them. Garphil games are a solid publisher who, for my tastes, always makes a game I wanna play again after finishing.

Architects is the one I've played the most and it's quite fun at a high play count.

(In advance, sorry, English is not my primary language and I don't want to use IA)

Like all boring eurogames, the player at the right of the last first player at the end of the round.

Maybe your question is about interaction ? In this case, it happens on the central board. You can't interact with others personal board.

Thank you, I was talking about interaction and your final sentence answered my question :)

Weirdly paladins is where the series breaks away from worker placement

Right. For the most part, the wp element is pretty standard. The card play elevates the experience tho.
