Orléans Stories

The fertile valleys of the Loire around Orléans, the first settlers, emerging prosperity and great catastrophes – these are the ingredients for the tales of Orléans Stories. The well-known bag-building mechanism of Orléans has been further developed into a storytelling experience in which players go through different eras and face different challenges.

Orléans Stories is an epochal work in the literal sense of the word, in which players both pursue their own strategy and act together with their fellow players. Orléans Stories includes 2 stories: The First Kingdom and The King’s Favor. In both of the stories, the players go through successive eras, each with different conditions and rules.

While The First Kingdom leaves it up to the players to decide which strategy to follow and where and for how long to stay, in The King’s Favor, players progress together and must complete certain tasks within the specified timeframe of each era in order not to be eliminated prematurely.
