Fata Morgana Kennerspiel Orléans 8th edition

Orléans (8th Edition)

In Orléans, the goal is to gain dominance in medieval France through trade, construction, and science. The focus is on the city of Orléans and the surrounding Loire region, where players can embark on trade journeys to other cities to acquire coveted goods and build trading posts.

The twist in Orléans lies in how actions are triggered. Various characters such as farmers, craftsmen, knights, or monks are needed for this purpose. Each player assembles their own retinue throughout the game. Each profession is associated with specific advantages. For instance, knights expand the player's action radius and are also required to accompany trade journeys. In the village, players can hire craftsmen who assist in building trading posts and producing tools. Scholars are essential for advancing progress. And last but not least, it is worthwhile to be active in the monastery, as the help of monks makes one less vulnerable to fate.

Players always want to perform more actions than they can, and there are many paths to achieve their goals. The game offers a plethora of possibilities: one can acquire additional actions, engage in one area or another. Depending on the strategy, players should consciously choose their retinue as well as all other game elements and coordinate them with each other.

Our new edition of the classic Orléans can now be played with up to 5 players without the additional expansion for the 5th player. After many of our partners have already released this version, we have also made the necessary adjustments for the 8th edition. Of course, the 5th player expansion remains available for customers who already own Orléans. The box size has been kept unchanged, only the weight has increased.
