Orléans: Big Box Edition

It is 1598 and you have settled in the middle of France in the city of Orléans on the Loire. Your goal is clear: to build the Cathedral of Orléans, and all of you together, because only together can you meet this challenge! The Cathedral of Orléans is a cooperative game for the whole family that is particularly suitable when adults and children play together. In order to be able to carry out the actions with which one tries, the followers already known from Orléans are used. But they are in two different pouches and the question is always: Which pouch should I draw from in order to get the desired tile? You should therefore also remember which tiles go into which bag at the end of the round. Agreements are not only allowed, they are necessary in order to work out the strategy together as effectively as possible. And time is always pressing: the cathedral must be completed in the third round at the latest, because if a tile can no longer be placed on any other action, it must go into the bell tower and thus ends the round. Special highlight: You build a real, three-dimensional cathedral! 2-4 PLAYERS | 30 MINS | AGES 8+ · 2023

Mon Dieu, quelle horreur! The inhabitants of Orléans have been hit hard; the plague has come upon them, bringing suffering and misery to the population. There are many dead to mourn, and even the plague doctor can only bring limited relief and hope to the long-suffering inhabitants. The clergy also has little to offer in the way of relief. And so, in the end, everyone is on their own and must try to protect their followers as best they can. This expansion for up to 5 players requires the base game Orléans. At the beginning, conditions are made tougher by "rat cards". New events are linked to "corpse tokens", which players must place a certain number of in their bag at the end of each round. These will be randomly drawn at the beginning of the round and occupy valuable space on the marketplace. To get rid of them, a player can fulfil indulgence cards through pilgrimage, donations, or other conditions — which also bring victory points at the end of the game. Fortunately, each player has a "plague doctor", a new figure available in (almost) every round that can be used universally. 2-5 PLAYERS · 2022
