About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine a place that was once the epicenter of all magical power in the Four Kingdoms, but is now nothing more than dangerous ruins. The Faded Fortress, after a devastating 200-year war, has been abandoned and now lives under the shadow of magic persecution. But don't be fooled by the silence and curses: among the crumbling walls, treasures lie hidden that would make any adventurer lose their mind, especially the legendary Ancient Orbes. In Orb Hunters, you take on the role of one of these daring explorers who aren't afraid to face the unknown to strike it rich. The gameplay is fast and direct: each round, you must decide how to use your Adventurer Cards to navigate the fortress's perils. The real challenge isn't just finding treasure, but knowing how far you can go without getting hurt. You'll need to balance your pursuit of wealth with the necessity of avoiding wounds that could ruin your expedition. It's a game of quick strategic decisions, where managing your hand is your best ally to ensure you leave the fortress with a full purse and your skin intact. If you enjoy classic exploration adventures, where every step could be your last or the start of a fortune, this game is your next destination.
