The game, designed by University of Missouri Professor Mark Swanson and Mississippi-based Artist Justin Schultz, will launch on Kickstarter, Thursday, November 10.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Popular\u00a0game reviewer Richard Ham of \u201cRhado Runs Through\u201d has featured Feudum on his top 10 most anticipated games list. On Feudum\u2019s kickstarter page (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oddbirdgames.com\/feudum\">www.oddbirdgames.com\/feudum<\/a>), Ham states in a video, \u201cIf I were ever to design a board game, this is the game I would design!&#8220;\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Modern game designer Jamey Stegmaier, known for his successful Kickstarter campaign for the game Scythe, said he \u201chad the pleasure of playing a prototype of Feudum at Geekway to the West,\u201d and found it to be very enjoyable calling it \u201ca heavy Euro game with lots of interesting decisions and a healthy dose of player interaction.\u201d Stegmaier also compared it \u201cin depth and aesthetic to Trickerion.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Feudum features the strategic complexities found in games such as Terra Mystica, Brass, Caylus and Dominant Species, but sets itself apart with its meticulously-drawn illustrations, interesting decisions and a fully-functioning economic ecosystem. It is this unique economic mechanic that allows players to facilitate the rotation of goods through different guilds, while competing for status within them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere\u2019s not one right way to play it,\u201d said Swanson. \u201cUniquely powered characters and multiple paths to victory make for an ever-changing, open-world experience. You have to be flexible\u2014ready to adapt.\u201d\u00a0The new game also includes action programming, area influence and hand management. These nuances are highlighted by Schultz\u2019s artwork for the game.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDesigning a board game is a dream come true,\u201d said Schultz, who is known for his eclectic works ranging from a logo for a tomato farmer to concert posters for Grammy award-winning band Wilco. \u201cIt reflects so much of what has inspired me over the years\u2014from 60\u2019s art like Steadman and Crumb to Anime and Saturday morning cartoons.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The game is for 2-5 players, takes 80 to 180 minutes to play and will include rulebooks in German, French and English.
