About the game

What is The Middle Ages

The Middle Ages uses a mix of hand management, worker placement, and multi-use cards. The game is driven by the Player Turn cards, which, in combination with the player's unique Accord card, dictate what the player can and must do during their turn.

Each turn, the player must add one card from their hand to a player's Coterie (theirs or another player's - there are benefits and drawbacks to either). After adding a card to a Coterie, if the player has 3 or more cards in their Coterie, they return all cards in their Coterie and receive a number actions based the cards that were returned. For each Action, a player can play a card to their Structures.

When the deck runs out for the second time, the game ends and players score points for their Accord Icons, Wealth, and Structures. The player with the most points wins.
