About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that classic situation: the gang's all here, the table is loaded with amazing games, but deciding which one to play takes longer than the actual game itself? Well, 'Game to Pick a Game: Orc Council' is here to solve that pain point! Forget the endless chatter and debates about which game pleases everyone the most. Here, we jump straight into the action with a quick and fun auction where everyone tries to push for the game they want. It's a game of bluffing, negotiation, and a bit of math to ensure no one gets left behind. Perfect for those who want to optimize their time and start playing right away, stress-free. Each round is a new chance to show who rules the orc council! Ideal for breaking the ice and ensuring the fun starts even before the main game. With simple rules and rounds that don't even last 5 minutes, it's the perfect tool to avoid the dreaded 'choice paralysis.' Your more assertive friends will love the chance to defend their picks, while the quieter ones can use strategy to influence the decision without needing to shout. It's the ultimate solution for game nights that start with more debate than fun. Get ready for an orc auction where wit and persuasion count more than brute force. Ensure your next game session kicks off on the right foot with the right game on the table!
