About the game
Medieval Realms is an economic euro game for 2 to 5 players. Each player will asume the role of a medieval king. You will have to make your decisions to develope your own realm. The game will be played during 7 rounds. On each round players will have 2 different phases. In the first phase, all players will secretly place their leaders (mayors, generals and admirals) in the different spots on their player boards to earn resources (gold, production, materials, science, culture, religion and battle points). In the second phase, players can take cards from the row using their resources. There are 10 different types of cards (leaders, cities, markets, islands, territories, wars, castles, science, religion and culture). There are 3 different cards mechanisms: bidding, cards in hand and majority. At the end of the game the player with the most victory points wins the game. —description from the publisher

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Medieval Realms is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Medieval Realms for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Medieval Realms has a complexity rating of 2.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
