## Description
Ever had that feeling of building something from scratch and watching a city grow right before your eyes? Era: Medieval Age delivers exactly that, but with a modern twist. If you're familiar with the classic Roll Through the Ages, imagine it evolved: we've moved from 'roll-and-write' to 'roll-and-build'. Instead of marking boxes on a sheet, you physically place structures on your board.

In this game, your dice represent the various social classes of the Middle Ages. You'll roll, lock in the results you want, and strive to create the most prosperous city possible. The real magic lies in the 3D components: walls, keeps, and farms that give volume and personality to your settlement. By the end of the game, every player will have a unique city reflecting their specific strategic choices.

But don't expect it to be all peace and harmony in the countryside. Since we're in the Medieval Age, player interaction is intense and sometimes ruthless. Be ready to deal with extortion, scorched earth tactics, and, of course, the inevitable plagues of the era. It's the kind of game where you plan your expansion but must stay alert for when your neighbor decides to send a disease your way. This is the first entry in a new series of standalone games by the renowned Matt Leacock, blending the luck of the dice with the tactile satisfaction of building a medieval empire.
