Dec 28, 2013

Our friends at Canadian game company Academy Games have a new project on Kickstarter worthy of your consideration, Fief – France 1429. Fief is for three to six players who each take on the role of nobles in 15th century France looking to become the power players behind the throne and the Pope in Rome. A $65 pledge can score you an English language copy of the game and editions in French, German, and Spanish will be available as well.

From Academy Games:

‘Fief – France 1429’ is a game of dynastic ambition, where players assume the roles of nobles in the 15th century Kingdom of France. Each player strives to become the most powerful ruling force in the kingdom by gaining control of Fief and Bishopric territories. In turn, they acquire Royal and Ecclesiastical (church) titles which give their families influence in elections for the next Pope and King. Players strengthen their positions by negotiating marriage alliances between their families, setting the stage for love, treachery and deceit!

Fief is a French language boardgame classic and is being re-introduced by Academy Games in English with updated rules, cards and map board. This edition includes additional components, which enhances game play.
