In Feudum, players control medieval characters farming, taxing towns, and capturing outposts to gain power. Each turn, players optimize four actions and compete for coveted feudums that boost their status in six guilds. Military service to the king and a progressive economic cycle involving farmers, merchants, alchemists, and knights add depth. Events like sea serpents and changing conditions challenge adaptation over five epochs.
Who Is This Game For?
Feudum targets experienced eurogamers aged 12 and up who appreciate complex economic simulations and strategic planning. With a long playtime around 180 minutes, it demands patience and prior knowledge of intricate Eurogames. The game supports 2 to 5 players but does not include a solo mode.
How It Works

Acquiring feudums increases guild membership, influencing economic progression. The interplay of simultaneous action selection, hand management, and area influence demands careful strategy and long-term planning.
