Orichalque (Fr)

Atlantis is about to sink beneath the water, explorers, it's up to you to find a new land for the Atlantean people in Orichalque!

Orichalque is a tense and fast-paced strategy game, resembling a small-scale 4X game. Each player has their own island board to explore and develop. Each turn, they choose a set of an exploration tile and an action: recruit hoplites, produce precious orichalque (a legendary metal from Greek mythology), build buildings that grant powerful bonuses, or try to get rid of the monsters infesting your island (which prevent you from building new structures).

To win, you must erect majestic temples, forge orichalque tokens, or gain the favor of the Titans (by creating areas of their favorite landscapes). The first player to reach 5 victory points while clearing their island of all monsters wins the game.

Orichalque is a condensed strategy game co-designed by the well-known Bruno Cathala and Johannes Goupy (Queenz), where your decisions have an impact on the course of the game.
