Obscura Tempora
Obscura tempora is an easy card game settled in the Dark Ages. Each player is a faction that tries to expand his power and starts with a castle and a town. He can add towns and abbeys to his belongings, and also build ports, markets and walls on his towns. Each castle, town, abbey, market and port is worth a money card each turn, but only one per turn can go safely into the castle: the others must be kept in towns and abbeys. Towns can be pillaged and abbeys can change ownership thanks to the action cards: militia, catapults, saracene pirates and bishops.

The goal is to reach a certain amount of money, but every turn the choice is between keeping it or spending it to get more action and building cards.
