    During the medieval goings-on around Orléans, you must assemble a following of farmers, merchants, knights, monks, etc. to gain supremacy through trade, construction and science in medieval France.

    Box description:

    In the city of Orléans and the area of the Loire, you can take trade trips to other cities to acquire coveted goods and build trading posts. You need followers and their abilities to expand your dominance by putting them to work as traders, builders, and scientists. Knights expand your scope of action and secure your mercantile expeditions. Craftsmen build trading stations and tools to facilitate work. Scholars make progress in science, and last but not least it cannot hurt to get active in monasteries since with monks on your side you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.

    In Orléans, you will always want to take more actions than possible, and there are many paths to victory. The challenge is to combine all elements as best as possible with regard to your strategy.

     Total score:


         90%
     A highly enjoyable point salad using bag building and worker placement as its main mechanism
     Gameplay I find this game highly enjoyable to play.
    - There are many possible strategies and combo's you can try during your turn.
    - You always want to do more actions than possible (which I find a good thing)
    - The bag building mechanism works really well
    - Little downtime. Players simultaniously assign their workers after which actions are taken in turn
    45
     Flexibility - Many ways to victory
    - Plays well with any amount of players
    - Although this game is quite complex I've found it easy to teach and learn
    30
     Rules - Well written rules
    - The game is completely language independent.
    - Everything is shown with very clear icons
     10
     Components While the overall components are good, the worker disks are made of thin cardboard.
    These are very light which makes them not easy to grab. I also noticed some wear of the paint on the worker tokens after a few plays
    Because these are major components to the game I could not give a high score to this segment
    For the fans I recommend the Orléans Fan Kit, which offers a component upgrade to the game
