Is there a simple post/site that gives the current status of this game ... and a brief overview of it now ?

In looking at the forums, it also looks like there's a Cold War version in the making currently? Did I read that right? (if so, sign me up!)

What the hell are the swords for????

This game takes diplomatic backstabbing VERY seriously!

Just tell me who I have to kill in order to get a copy!

I believe it requires the blood of the innocent.

MedioEvo Universalis

Game of commerce, diplomacy, strategy and conquest.


- Number of players: 3-5 with BASE box, 6-10 with EXPANSION box. Added the "dead", which has rules to reinforce himself, attack and rebel territories of players poor defended.

- Terrain: 7 types of terrain combined with city's fortifications and technologies give modifiers for movements and overpopulation.

- Trade: players have at their disposal sea and land transportations to trade 8 types of goods in 36 cities on the map to earn florins.

- Technological advancement: 36 technologies deployed in 5 families on a maximum of 4 levels improve their Reign in economy, trade, military and diplomacy. These technologies implement the features of other playing cards or allow to protect yourself from Calamities.

- Very rare events: calamities can disrupt and modify a lot all strategies... If the player is prepared, he will able to survive almost unscathed, otherwise ...

- Random Events: a series of positive and negative random events, but less catastrophic, will hit the various areas of land or sea in which the map is divided: storms, missions required by the Pope, tournaments between players, merchants who offer trade … etc.

- Development: the player has the opportunity to expand their cities, increase the fortifications and defenses, armies, military and commercial transport... and more.

- Playing cards: allow to improve armies and defenses, the construction of fortifications, taxes, diplomacy, the purchase of new mercenary's armies ... etc.

- Combat: the combination of technologies with the card game allows you to get a bonus set of modifiers during battles... and how about a nice Crusade? Don't forget to Corsairs, pirates and Mongol invasions.

- Diplomacy: 6 diplomatic options and Casus Belli with other players; 1 player also controls the Pope and must organize the Crusades... if the others Christian kingdoms try to refuse, Pope can excommunicate them... and if the Mamluks conquered Rome?

- Expansion: the player is invited to expand his Kingdom to create an empire.

- AIM of the game: get the most Honor Points from the various aspects of the game as: military expansion, killing an enemy General, conquering a Kingdom, winning a crusade, completing a mission … etc.

Sorry, I started to help a young boy who want to create his boardgame, but when he saw that it was too long, he has stopped working.

The swords are numbered and used to determine the sequence of players; they are redistributed at the end of each round, so You will not be always the first to play
Random sequence.

The first 2 swords go to auction... very interesting when the game becomes hot.

This is the only copy... tested and almost finished... but you must kill me in order to get a copy ahahaha... I'm trying to find an italian editor, but it seems impossible, so this year I start to try a foreign Publisher.

Fine then, just give me your address. I need a vacation anyway and I might as well make it a productive one.

If you would like any blind testing done overseas, let me know and I'll get playtest it with a number of groups with different gaming tastes and get feedback to you.

I know you must have, but please tell me you have back up copies of everything. The words "only copy" sends a chill down my spine. (A friend designed a clipper ship combat PBM and one day discovered that he couldn't find the file and concluded it had been accidentally thrown out.) Not that I'm suggesting you could accidentally throw out a game of that breathtaking magnitude.

Try to find an editor that won't make too many major changes. As for a foreign publisher, have you looked at kickstarter? It'll give you far more control over your game.

No, no, don't do it!! He's choosing his murder weapon as I type. That's what he really means by productive...

I can imagine a F:AT version of the movie It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World or The Great Race as we all race to Lovere with murder in our hearts! (Yes, I have a sick Weeksian mind sometimes.)

And for those who can't get enough of the pictures.
