About the game
You have won the just reward after 10 years of service and battles fought on behalf of the King, and you have become Lord of a Fief! And what a Fief!!! ... an uncultivated land piece with a village of wanderers! And as if it was not enough, the neighboring Fiefs have been granted to your worst adversaries, who will not hesitate to try to kill you! Maybe it is not a reward, but a punishment? Medievalia is a strategic game where each player represents a Feudal Lord trying to prevail over his neighbors. During the first phases of the game the players develop their Fief by increasing the number of cultivated fields and the population. Subsequently, they will begin constructing buildings, specializing the population in several professions and abilities, and then they will start creating their army. All these operations are performed in the same way: the player puts in the cards from his own hand. Every card that comes in play costs a certain amount of resources and it can produce a certain amount of resources. Producing more resources during the game allows playing more and more powerful cards and provides more maneuverability. Home Page: https://www.giochix.it/scheda.php?item=1417&crowd=0&lingua=0

Questions and answers
Medievalia supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Medievalia is 50 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Medievalia for ages 10 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.
Medievalia has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
