Orléans: Neue Ortskarten N°1, or Place Tiles N°1, is a quick‑fire add‑on that gives your Orléans game a serious boost without a big investment. Three new building tiles—Bakery, Goldsmith, and Lair—each bring a unique effect that can swing the game in your favor when used at the right moment. The Bakery provides food cards to attract more workers, the Goldsmith offers extra gold to buy more cards, and the Lair lets you stash cards for critical use later. The deck, bag, and pool building mechanic stays intact: you buy, trade, and hold cards to build a long‑term strategy, while point‑to‑point movement keeps moving between towns a tactical decision. If you love the medieval vibe, Orléans’ cities, guilds, and trade, you’ll feel right at home. The expansion doesn’t change the core rules, just adds options, making it perfect for players who know the game and want more variety without overcomplicating. Playtime rises a bit but stays comfortably within the expected 90‑minute window. In short, Place Tiles N°1 is the go‑to for a quick, fun upgrade to your Orléans while keeping the simplicity and strategy that make the game great.
