About this board game

Medieval: Jan Žižka is a dice-driven game for 1–4 players, with games lasting approximately 120 minutes. Set in South Bohemia in the late 14th century, it puts each player in charge of a group of men-at-arms roaming the region.

Your party’s journey can take you to castles under siege, monasteries where monks need help, and taverns where dice games await. These activities form the central situations of Medieval, creating a varied journey through its medieval setting.

The members of your party are more than simple followers. Each one offers unique abilities that can help you succeed, giving the composition of your group an important role in the game.

However, your men-at-arms will not necessarily agree with every decision you make. Medieval’s moral system reflects these differences, adding a layer of tension as you lead your group through the choices and challenges of the journey.
