Middle-Ages

Middle-Ages puts you in control of a fiefdom, challenging you to develop your lands and secure your place as the most influential lord in the kingdom. As the head of your fiefdom, you must choose how to build your domain—will you prioritize agricultural development with fields and mills, raise grand churches to show your devotion, or create sumptuous palaces to flaunt your wealth? With each decision, you’ll craft your lands in your image, earning points based on your unique strategy and vision.

The game unfolds over 16 rounds, during which players take turns placing their Lord piece on one of the available Plot tiles in the current row. Each tile represents a different element of a medieval city, such as fields, farms, villages, ramparts, markets, barracks, churches, or palaces. Each tile type offers distinct powers and scoring mechanisms that depend on the arrangement and combination of tiles in your fiefdom. For example, fields and farms might yield a steady income, while markets and villages can increase your influence. Some tiles, like barracks, introduce interactive elements, such as attacking other players or reserving future tiles, creating opportunities for strategic aggression and defense.

After selecting a tile, you add it to your fiefdom, triggering its effects and planning how it will interact with future tiles to maximize your income and scoring. With every tile placement, you’ll see your medieval city come to life, building out a tapestry that reflects your chosen path to victory. Once all players have selected their 16th tile, the game concludes, and the player with the most money wins.

Middle-Ages offers a satisfying mix of strategic tile selection and city-building, with numerous tough decisions that require careful planning and foresight. Its smooth gameplay and dynamic scoring make it a compelling experience for 2-5 players.
