About this board game
OrcQuest is a fast-paced card game for 2–6 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. Take the role of a gang of orcs determined to stop being victims and become the heroes of their own brutal raid.
Your goal is to be the richest green skin when the raid ends. Each turn, draw a card and play one challenge card: Brawl, Trap, or Capture. Dice determine the outcome, and even the dice are sharp enough to slash your enemies.
Success can bring rewards such as gold and life points, while failure may cost you life points, gains, or cards. Other players can interfere during your turn with Cheapshots or Magic stuff, keeping every challenge open to unexpected twists.
- Play one challenge card each turn: Brawl, Trap, or Capture.
- Use one Magic stuff card, one Treasure, and as many Cheapshots as you can.
- Roll the dice to determine whether your challenge succeeds or fails.
- Collect rewards, avoid losses, and interact during other players’ turns.
When the draw pile runs out, the game enters a final phase with one last turn. Some cards can only be played during this closing moment, so deciding what to keep in your hand can be just as important as using your strongest tricks early.
With brawls, traps, treasures, captures, and cheap shots all competing for attention, OrcQuest puts a mischievous spin on fantasy adventure. Be bad, be strong, and be orc as you fight for the biggest haul.
