If you enjoy a medieval theme with plenty of strategy and the chance to see your fiefdom prosper (or not!), this one might be right up your alley. It's an experience that challenges you to plan each step carefully but rewards those who can balance internal development with external demands.

About the game

What you do in a play session

In Feudalia, a deck-building and resource management game for 1 to 4 players, peace has finally arrived after a long period of wars, and now it's time to reap the spoils of victory. The King has appointed feudal lords to bring glory and prosperity to the newly conquered lands. Your mission is to develop your three feuds, hiring workers and master craftsmen to expand your territories, and at the same time, contribute to the construction of a magnificent cathedral, a symbol of the King's proximity to the divine. Each player controls their vassals, who will work the lands to generate money and resources. But beware! The King's tax collector will appear unexpectedly to take half of the resources stored in each of your feuds. Additionally, you need to keep an eye on your neighbors, as military incursions can hinder your progress. The goal is to be the first to accumulate 10 points, which are earned by building and developing your feuds or by assisting in the various phases of the cathedral's construction. Manage your vassals wisely, invest in new workers and buildings, and spend your resources on the cathedral before the tax collector knocks on your door to become the most prosperous feudal lord in Feudalia!
