About the game

What you do in a play session

M400 throws you straight into the 15th century, a time of historical upheavals in Europe. Picture Risk with bluffing and secret diplomacy, where cards are both your army and bargaining chips. Each game is a fresh chance to rewrite history: forge sneaky alliances, plan strategic invasions, and manage resources like a true Renaissance statesman. The game blends deck-building, area control, and hand management seamlessly. With no dice rolls, victories by luck are rare—strategy rules here. Mechanics encourage constant player interaction (including off-the-books negotiations!), making M400 shine with 3-5 people. The historical theme isn't just backdrop—it shapes every decision, from battles to revolutions. Get ready for nights of medieval intrigue that'll test both your wit and your poker face!
