The game's flavour text:

“I’ve had my fill of smoked fish”, the alderman of the little Dutch town grumbles. “Bring me some apples to finish the meal!”. His servant looks worried. “We are out of apples sir. The De Witt family has been cutting peat close to our lands and now the water level in our orchards is too high.” The alderman’s face turns into a frown: “I will go to the count of Holland and file a complaint. The count will surely be on my side.” The servant bows and takes his leave. He knows the count has just delegated all water related decisions to a new court close by.

Bailiff of Boscoop is a strategy game set in the late Middle Ages and Early Modern period in Rhineland, part of the county of Holland in what is now The Netherlands. 2-5 players take on the role of local families. Family members may claim land. Some may rise to prominence as the founder of a village, as a judge, or as a local duck dealer. The family with the most land at the end of the game wins. The game takes 150-240 min.
