The Board Game Orleans

Transport yourself to medieval France — the cradle of absolute monarchy and feudalism. Here, in the outskirts of Orleans, you will recruit supporters and assign them to important positions, develop trade, and expand your spheres of influence. Become the most respected person in the city, securing the support of the townspeople, while ordinary residents — from farmers and sailors to monks and knights — will serve as tools for climbing the social ladder.

In Orleans, there is no specific winning strategy, so it cannot be played straightforwardly, and with each new player, the game undergoes significant changes. If your opponent indiscriminately occupies all trade routes and builds numerous factories, you cannot quietly prepare cheese, waiting for victory.

Number of players: 2–4.
Game duration: from 60 to 90 minutes.
