Feudum

Feudum is a medieval, economic fantasy game for up to five players. Explaining even the gist of this monster's rules accurately would take a stout pamphlet. So please allow me to just straight-up butcher them: Using a hand of cards, you'll take turns by picking four of 11 possible actions to send six types of pawns across a complex, fantasy board to spread influence and domination, collect a dizzying array of goods (from saltpeter and rosary beads), defend and develop your new holds, and jockey for influence in six separate guilds—each of which function with cascading effects that may require a supercomputer to effectively preplan. The winner? Most points at the end. Oh, also there's blimps and subs.
