The mission? To save your race from imminent annihilation, threatened by the relentless expansion of humans. Together, you'll need to leverage your unique skills and strong teamwork to overcome enemies and, perhaps, uncover the true source of all this evil. Throughout an immersive campaign, unfolding across ten scenarios with double-sided modular tiles, your orcs will have the chance to upgrade their weapons and evolve. Each scenario tests your stealth, strategy, and, of course, your orcish combat skills against 'human scum' and other surprise enemies that might appear. The ultimate goal is to unravel the mystery behind the human advance, tackling varied quests like rescuing allies and confronting epic bosses. Victory comes by defeating a still-secret final opponent in the campaign's last chapter. But beware! If the alert level reaches its maximum or all your heroes fall, defeat is certain. It's a true tribute to the 'Badass God,' leaving a trail of blood and bones wherever you go! ## FAQ ### How many players can play OrcQuest WarPath?
