  1. 7 out of 10

    8+ plays / 4,5 players LIKE: Even though it's just another efficiency race game, there is lots to explore. The multitude of strategies is very fun and the main point of the game. Good game arc, from building the engine early to claiming townhalls at the end. Gameplay was smooth. Nice thick tokens (TMG version). Good 5 player game (I have additional player pieces). DISLIKE: Money wasn't tight, so the events seemed pointless. Goods gained weren't used for anything but points, so that felt bland. Lacks player interaction at times. Rules weren't complete, felt they left some questions unanswered. OVERALL: Good game, but I am surprised this is rated as high as it is. I do like it because of the sheer amount of strategies to pursue, but the lack of tension in the game gave it a somewhat mild aftertaste. I am eager to expansions to make the game a little tighter. (Upgraded rating after a few plays, the subtleties really come out only after a few plays.)

  2. 8.5 out of 10

    Big setup commitment and some of the iconography isn't so clear but an overall fantastic game that people pick up surprisingly quickly.

  3. 6 out of 10

    I had high expactations for this game. It turns out it's ok game but not great. There is no player interaction and it plays like solitaire.

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 the city of Orléans and the area of the Loire, you can take trade trips to other cities to acquire coveted goods and build trading posts. You need followers and their abilities to expand your dominance by putting them to work as traders, builders, and scientists. 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, and last but not least it cannot hurt to get active in monasteries since with monks on your side you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.

In Orléans, 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.
