About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're into quick, tense duels that don't take longer than a coffee break, ORC is your game! Part of the famous Pack O Game series, it pits you and an opponent in a frenetic struggle for territory. The concept is simple, but don't be fooled: timing is everything here. The game consists of six intense battles where you must manage your hand with surgical precision. Each turn, you decide where to deploy your Orcs and how to scavenge for weapons to strengthen your clan. But watch out: battles erupt as soon as a territory's stockpile is exhausted, so you need to predict exactly when the fight will break out. It's not just about taking territory; to win, you must conquer the most valuable areas and hold the matching Orcs in your hand for that sweet victory bonus. It's pure micro-strategy, where every card played can be the difference between glory and total defeat. Perfect for fans of fast-paced fantasy card games that fit in your pocket and deliver a strategic combat experience in just minutes.
