About the game
What you do in a play session
The 5th Player Box for Orléans is the perfect solution for those who want to include one more friend in the medieval adventure. It provides all the necessary components in black for a fifth player to join the fray, plus extra character and technology tiles. And there's more: the TMG edition includes a reference card for adjusting component quantities based on player count and a re-release of the solo scenario 'The Trip to Tours'. If you already love Orléans and want to play with more people (or test your skills solo), this expansion is a must. Just remember that the base game is required!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use this expansion?
Yes, Orléans is required. This box only adds extra components and a solo scenario.
How much longer is a 5-player game?
Depends on the group, but expect 20-30 minutes longer than a standard 4-player game.
Is the solo scenario good for beginners?
It's better for those familiar with the game, but the rules are clear and worth trying!
Do the new components match my edition?
Yes, the black pieces are universal. Only the reference card is TMG edition-exclusive.
Is it worth it just for solo play?
If you play solo often, yes! But the main appeal is enabling 5-player games.
