Setup

Players start with apples and shillings, and the board is set up with action cards and pawns.

The rules, step by step

Setup
Players begin the game with a satchel of apples and a fistful of shillings. The game board is laid out, featuring various locations, a score track, and spaces for action cards and pawns. Eleven action cards and three pawns, which can represent different characters, are available to each player. Resources like saltpeter, ships, king's seals, and prayer beads are also part of the setup.
Objective
The primary objective in Feudum is to reclaim your honor by scoring the most veneration points. This is achieved through strategic gameplay and resource management, with the ultimate goal of having the highest veneration point total by the dawn of the fifth epoch.
On your turn
Each round, players select four action cards from their hand and play them one by one in turn order. These cards allow players to perform a variety of actions, such as tending farms, taxing towns, traversing the kingdom, adding influence markers to locations, and upgrading locations. The choice and order of playing these cards are crucial for strategic advantage.
Scoring
Veneration points are a key component of scoring. Players earn these points by upgrading locations, which also yields valuable landscapes that serfs can tend. Additionally, players compete for status in six different guilds, with higher status contributing to veneration points. Being the first to influence a location makes you the ruler, while arriving late makes you a lowly serf.
Game end
The game progresses through epochs, and the end is triggered by the drawing of all landscape tiles. The faster these tiles are drawn, the sooner the game concludes. Once the fifth epoch dawns and all final scoring is calculated, the player with the most veneration points wins.
Tips
Players must carefully manage their resources, including food and drink, to avoid starvation. Strategic use of action cards is vital, especially for influencing locations and gaining guild status. Guild members can trade resources between guilds, which is optional but can be beneficial. However, neglecting duties can lead to opponents taking over guild powers, so foresight and finesse are essential for success.
