Archers of Nand

About this board game

Archers of Nand is a 20-minute game for 1–2 players in which warriors and mountain archers work together to defend the Valley of Nand from invading orc hordes.

The valley is being overrun, and its local warriors are losing the hand-to-hand battle. From the heights of the mountains, however, the archers of Nand can strike at the enemy and decimate the orc troops. Your challenge is to combine the strengths of both forces before the orcs destroy everything.

Protection of the valley depends on choosing where to act. The regions of Nand form a small data table, and the game introduces the basics of computer databases through the idea of using SELECT to choose regions to attack. This theme connects the fantasy struggle to a simple database concept.

Archers of Nand offers a focused battle for players who enjoy defending a threatened land while considering how its regions can be selected for attack. Work with the warriors on the ground, use the archers’ mountain advantage, and try to hold the valley against the advancing hordes.

With its short playing time and support for solo or two-player games, Archers of Nand presents the struggle for Nand in a compact format while linking its fantasy setting with an accessible introduction to database tables and selection.
