Feudal (game)

Each set consists of thirteen mobile figures with differing methods of movement and attack, and a stationary castle piece.

The play area consists of four plastic peg boards depicting empty, rough, and mountainous terrain.

[1] The game takes place in the Middle Ages, where two fictional feudal kingdoms—one led by Ethelred the Great, the other by Aelfric the Barbaric—vied for control of territory which lay between their borders.

The feud had lasted generations but on this day both kings had come to the conclusion that the only way to settle the dispute was to conquer their rival's kingdom.

To this end, both kings, each supported by their respective prince and duke, prepared to invade and conquer the enemy.

[2] Feudal is won by either capturing your opponent's castle or slaying all of his royalty (i.e. King, Prince, and Duke).

If there is an odd number of players, the captain of the short team gains the use of an additional army (minus castle and royalty) so that each side remains even.

[2] Rather than a team format, four players may each select their own army and take a single quadrant of the board for their own.
