Of Popes & Plagues

A quick, gotcha card game of medieval village building and the outbreak of plague and pestilence. Build up villages and populations, then use cards, dice, and carefully timed decisions to outlast rival players once the plague begins. Added Inquisition, military orders, monasteries, and corsair raids bring extra medieval flavor and strategic choices. The last surviving population wins.
