Medieval: Jan Žižka (EN/DE)

Medieval: Jan Žižka is a strategy board game for 1 to 4 players aged 10 and up, set in Bohemia at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. The sons of Charles IV, Wenceslas and Sigismund, fight for control of the Czech lands, and you take on the role of a commander such as the sharp-witted Kateřina, the warrior Žižka or the cunning Boreš. Your decisions shape the course of events: you can rule as an honourable hero or as a feared outlaw, and you can change your alliances during play.

The aim is to collect as many victory points as possible over the rounds, mainly by completing events. Success depends on building a strong retinue, using the dice skilfully and gathering icons. Every action moves your marker on the Morale track, where you can follow the path of virtue or the path of vice. Each player takes two actions per round, such as moving, resolving events, recruiting followers or attacking rivals. The game ends when a player reaches 20 victory points, and the final count decides the winner.

The game can also be played solo. The game language is English and German, and a typical session lasts 45 to 120 minutes.
