During the 13th century AD, the Middle Ages slowly came to an end. The Pope and the Empire, the two universal powers that dominated the previous centuries, fell apart. Science and technology began to flourish again. Society changed rapidly, cities revived and gained autonomy while the feudal system began to crumble.
In Medioevo Universale you must lead one of the great kingdoms of the time, while taking control of trade, diplomacy, infrastructure development, scientific advancements and military strategy. Build fortresses and fortifications, bring war to your enemies, conquer new lands, discover new technologies, expand your trade, drive out the barbarians on the borders, recruit armies and fleets, forge alliances and defeat your opponents in battle!
Medioevo Universale is a game full of components (over 1700!) with many different aspects, deep interactions with other players and the opportunity to live an immersive experience in the medieval era.
In addition to the normal rules, the box also contains Nicola Iannone's original prototype rulebook and the elements to play his experimental game version.
