  ## Gameplay
  
  Medieval Games is a party video game set in a storybook medieval world. The game is similar to the Mario Party series by Nintendo. The game has a story mode with a story based on the Middle Ages, in which you play as a court jester named Scrunth, with each chapter raising Scrunth in the social hierarchy, with the last chapter he is named King of the Fools. The game features 30 Medieval mini-games including sword fighting, jousting, archery and catapulting. The game supports up to 4-player local multiplayer. The game aims to take full advantage of the Wii's motion capabilities. Most of the actions on the game-boards and mini-games requires motion-controls. It also has 2 vs 2 and 1 vs 3 minigames where player 1 is always the solo.
  
  ## Reception
  
  Medieval Games received generally bad reviews after its launch. Some reviewers criticised the game's bad motion controls and lack of depth and personality. Common Sense Media said that the control-scheme could only be enjoyed by an ogre, and was generally negative towards the game.
