In Orléans, you're transported to medieval France, where your goal is to build influence and supremacy. To achieve this, you'll recruit a diverse team of followers – such as farmers, merchants, knights, and monks – and put them to work. The game's core mechanic is its 'bag-building' system, where you purchase and randomly draw worker tokens to activate your actions. Each type of follower has a specific function: farmers and boatmen generate resources and money, which are essential for progress. Knights expand your reach on the map and protect your trade routes, while craftsmen are crucial for building trading stations and tools that optimize your operations. Scholars, in turn, boost your scientific progress, and traders open up new locations for you to explore. Oh, and don't underestimate the power of monks! They are an important asset for mitigating the unpredictable events that arise each round, providing welcome stability to your strategy. The game offers immense freedom, with multiple paths to victory, whether you focus on trade, construction, science, or a clever combination of all these elements. The challenge lies precisely in this: orchestrating your followers and actions in the best possible way to maximize your victory points and become the most influential in the region. It's a game that makes you think about every token draw and every worker placement, always wanting to do more than is possible in a single turn.
