About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine this: you and your crew have been banished, stripped of everything except a few shillings and some table scraps. Sounds like a disaster? Think again! It's the perfect chance to reinvent yourself in a strange land and reclaim your lost honor. In Feudum, you decide your path to power: will you work the land as a farmer, fight as a brave knight, or use your cunning to carve out your own fiefdoms?

Feudum is a medieval economic game where hand and resource management are key. The gameplay revolves around optimizing four actions per turn across five epochs. You control several characters roaming the countryside, tending to farms, taxing towns, and seizing outposts to climb the social ladder. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The real competition lies in acquiring coveted feudums, which increase your standing within six different guilds.

However, power comes with a price: feudum owners must pay homage to the king through military service or face charges of disloyalty. The game features a brilliant progressive economic cycle where each role supports the other: the farmer ships goods to the merchant, who equips the alchemist, who invents gunpowder, which then arms the knight, and so on.

To emerge victorious, you'll need a sharp strategy to manage your guilds, maintain control of key locations, and adapt to changing events. Just be careful not to starve, get distracted by sea serpents, or develop an unhealthy obsession with fermented grapes. If you can balance the politics, the economy, and the risks, victory is yours. Long live the King!
