Feud 1.4 is here, featuring live multiplayer!
When we released Feud into Early Access last May, there was one feature that lots of players were asking for - they wanted a more quickfire form of multiplayer than our asynchronous play with 24 hours per move. Today we're really pleased to be shipping our new live multiplayer mode, a quickfire game where each player has just 90 seconds to make their move, and disconnecting is not allowed! You can get into a match, or invite a friend to one, from the Live tab on the multiplayer menu.
You can also invite other players to a live match, as long as they're online and not in a live match already! You can even invite them if they're in an async match, as they can leave those without penalty.
We had some players say they thought Black had a slight advantage due to moving first. We looked into it and found that, while it was generally pretty balanced, pursing a Regicide strategy was harder if you were playing as White. To address this, we've reduced the starting HP of the Black Shield from 4 to 3.

Feud 1.4 is here, with some new tweaks and features we think you're going to really like.
Live Mode

A slight balance tweak
We had some players say they thought Black had a slight advantage due to moving first. We looked into it and found that, while it was generally pretty balanced, pursing a Regicide strategy was harder if you were playing as White. To address this, we've reduced the starting HP of the Black Shield from 4 to 3.
Other fixes and quality-of-life improvements
- We found that the online play was chewing up CPU, which wasn't great, especially for folks playing on PCs with batteries. We've fixed this, your machine should run quieter now!
- We've fixed bug where a game's outcome wasn't appearing in the endgame menu when playing online.
- We fixed a bug where animations would queue up during online play while you had the menu open, and then play after you closed it. This was kinda funny but it was open to abuse, so we fixed it.
- We fixed an annoying bug where disconnecting with a dialog open could result in an uncloseable dialog. Close the dialog. Stop having it be not closed.

Feud Linux [183.2 M]
Feud is a turn-based strategy game made by some guys you haven't heard of yet. Originally a board game designed by Dave Cordell, it's been polished and tweaked and generally mucked about with to bring it to the glowing screen you're reading this description on. Unless you printed it out? Think of the trees. Please.
CONDENSED ABSTRACT STRATEGY
Imagine chess, but on a four-by-four grid, where pieces are swapped rather than moved, each piece has its own special ability and--
OK, not so much like chess. What you can expect is a highly condensed little abstract strategy game which is easy enough to learn but quite tricky to get good at. The AI still beats us sometimes. The computers are winning. Please get good at Feud so we can beat them.
FREE AND CROSS-PLATFORM
Feud is free to play and has full cross-platform play between PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. This means you can play Feud at your boring job, then on the bus on the way home from your boring job, then on your computer at home while you recover from your boring job.
Please note that we do not recommend playing Feud during your commute if you walk to work, especially if you live in a city with lots of open manhole covers which is pretty much what I imagine New York to be like. I dunno, I've never been.
YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME MUCH ABOUT THIS GAME YET, TO BE HONEST
I'm not very good at this. Sorry. Anyway, look, the game's free and only a couple of hundred megabytes. You might as well, really.
