Orléans Trade & Intrigue @ The Missing Piece

In Orléans, players compete to gain dominance in the medieval city of Orléans and the surrounding Loire Valley. By assembling a diverse following—including farmers, merchants, knights, and monks—you'll engage in trade, construction, and scientific advancements to build your influence. The game is famous for popularizing a unique "bag-building" mechanic, where you draw followers from your personal bag to perform various actions, requiring strategic planning and adaptability.

Throughout the game, you'll establish trade stations, collect valuable goods, and advance on various development tracks. Each decision impacts your path to victory, offering multiple strategies and high replayability.

We will play either the Trade or Intrigue variant.
