Build your influence, gather your followers whilst shaping the future of medieval France in Orléans, a strategic bag building board game where every decision moves you closer to becoming the region’s most powerful leader. Combining worker placement, resource management and clever planning, Orléans challenges players to develop a thriving network through trade, science, construction and exploration.
 
Set during the medieval era around the historic city of Orléans, players recruit a diverse group of followers including farmers, merchants, knights, craftsmen, scholars as well as monks. These loyal supporters are drawn from your personal bag, allowing you to create unique combinations of workers to expand your influence, collect resources, unlock opportunities along with complete important projects.
 
The innovative bag building mechanic means every choice shapes your future strategy. Add new followers to strengthen your pool, then carefully decide how to use them to maximise your actions. Knights extend your reach, craftsmen create useful tools, scholars advance knowledge, traders open new possibilities whilst monks offer protection from unexpected events.
 
With multiple paths to victory, Orléans rewards adaptability and long term planning. Will you focus on commerce, scientific progress, expanding your network or creating a balanced empire that dominates every area? Each game offers a fresh challenge as players compete to build the most successful medieval community.
 
This game works well for groups that like their strategy board games as it combines worker placement and resource management to create a game with meaningful choices. Orléans delivers deep gameplay with an elegant system that is easy to understand yet rich with tactical decisions.

Gather your followers, grow your influence and prove you have what it takes to become the ultimate leader of medieval France.
