## Description
Orcs Must Die! The Board Game: Order Edition brings the video game madness to the table in a cooperative game where you and your friends defend a fortress against hordes of orcs and other grotesque creatures. Choose from heroes like Maximilian the War Mage or Gabriella the Redeemed Sorceress, each with unique abilities and special weapons. Set up your modular board, place strategic traps, and get ready for relentless waves of enemies. Each turn, you earn trophy skulls for killing orcs, which become currency to buy upgrades and more traps. But beware: enemies grow stronger with each wave, and if you're not prepared, the ending can be... well, disastrous. The game also allows PvP combat if you have the Unchained version, but the focus here is cooperation against the game. Get ready to shout 'Orcs Must Die!' a lot!
