During the medieval goings-on around Orléans, you must assemble a following of farmers, merchants, knights, monks, etc. to gain supremacy through trade, construction, and science in medieval France.

In Orléans, you will recruit followers and put them to work to make use of their abilities. Farmers and Boatmen supply you with money and goods; Knights expand your scope of action and secure your mercantile expeditions; Craftsmen build trading stations and tools to facilitate work; Scholars make progress in science; Traders open up new locations for you to use your followers; and last but not least, it cannot hurt to invest in monasteries because with Monks on your side you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.

You will always want to take more actions than possible, and there are many paths to victory. The challenge is to combine all elements as best as possible with regard to your strategy.

The game won a dozen different awards worldwide, and that is for a solid reason: it has became a reference for demanding serious gamers.

No games without publishers, and it is all thanks to DLP Games and the game designer Reiner Stockhausen that you can enjoy it online on our platform.
Such a big game requires a lot of effort, and we would love to thank the wonderful work done by jordijansen for coding and developing it for BGA. It plays well, but do not hesitate to report bugs if you ever encounter one... or two. But remember that a rule that doesn't seem right to you may be caused by a misreading or simply some bad habits: We try to make sure that the rules are always implemented according to the original printed rulebook. How many times did it happened to you? Let us know in the comments. ;)

That's it for today!

See you in a few days for more exciting news.
Until then, as always... Take care and play fair!
