Fief 2

Fief 2 was originally published by International Team as Fief. Euro Games revised it considerably to make Fief 2. The game is an exquisite mixture of naked military aggression and political maneuvering. While managing your finances, you try to place the Church in your pocket (by placing family members in bishoprics) and influence the royal family. Cards inflict not-so-random events on other players, etc.
