Read the full game description
Feudalia combines deck building with resource management and negotiation in a medieval contest for prestige. Each player governs three fiefs and sends vassals to fields and workshops to produce food, wood, clay, stone, and coin. Those resources improve the estates, attract more capable workers, and support construction of the shared cathedral. Cards cycle through a personal deck, so recruiting and timing determine what each fief can accomplish. Trading can rescue an inefficient turn, while the tax collector periodically removes half of every player’s exposed resources. The first ruler to reach ten prestige points wins.
