You’ve just been bequeathed a plot of land by the King and named Lord of your own fief. Of course, your worst enemies have been granted plots of their own, right next to yours in fact, and they’re now plotting to get you out of the way. Time to build up your land—and fast—to protect yourself and show your charming neighbors who really deserves to hold onto the land.

During the first phases of the game, players develop their fief by adding more cultivated fields and population, then they start constructing buildings, training the public, and building an army. All of this activity takes place with cards played from your hand. Cards cost a certain amount of resources, but produce some as well. The more you produce, the more powerful the card you can play and the more you’ll be able to stick it to the other players.

In addition to the languages listed above, the Giochix website will have rules available in Spanish, French, Swedish, Finnish and Danish as well.
