⚜️ Orléans: Big Box – La grande rinascita del commercio medievale

Costruisci la tua influenza tra mercanti, cavalieri e monaci nella Francia del Medioevo.

Le campane di Orléans risuonano tra i vicoli affollati, il mercato è in fermento e il fiume Loira scorre lento tra le carovane di merci e le vele dei battellieri. Nel cuore della Francia medievale, ogni scelta è un passo verso la gloria o la rovina.

Devi radunare una confraternita di contadini, studiosi e cavalieri, e far prosperare la tua città attraverso il commercio, la scienza e la fede. In Orléans: Big Box, tutto ciò che ha reso celebre il capolavoro di Reiner Stockhausen ritorna in una edizione monumentale, che racchiude espansioni, varianti e nuovi luoghi da scoprire.

Ogni turno è una danza tra pianificazione e rischio: assembli i tuoi seguaci nel sacchetto, li richiami con saggezza e costruisci un motore economico che cresce insieme alla tua visione. Quando le campane taceranno, solo il più abile tra i mercanti potrà scrivere il proprio nome nella storia.

In Orléans non vince chi accumula di più, ma chi sa far fiorire la propria città con intelligenza e misura.

⚜️ Un classico gestionale nella sua edizione definitiva

Orléans: Big Box è la versione completa del celebre gioco da tavolo strategico ideato da Reiner Stockhausen e illustrato da Klemens Franz, pubblicato da dlp games. Ambientato nella Francia medievale, combina deckbuilding e gestione risorse in un sistema innovativo di bag building, in cui i giocatori reclutano seguaci — contadini, cavalieri, mercanti, studiosi e monaci — per espandere il proprio dominio.

Ogni partita è una sfida di pianificazione e adattamento, dove ogni lavoratore contribuisce alla costruzione del tuo motore economico. La Big Box include il gioco base, le espansioni Trade & Intrigue, Invasion, 5th Player e tutte le promo e gli Ortskarten aggiuntivi pubblicati fino al 2025, rendendola l’edizione più completa e curata di sempre.

Perfetto per chi ama i giochi gestionali di medio-alta complessità, Orléans rimane uno dei migliori esempi di strategia elegante e rigiocabile del panorama boardgame moderno.

Ogni seguace rappresenta una possibilità: contadini per la produzione, cavalieri per l’espansione, mercanti per il commercio, studiosi per la conoscenza.

La sfida è sincronizzare le estrazioni con la propria strategia, ottimizzando turni e azioni senza mai sprecare risorse. Con l’aggiunta delle espansioni, la Big Box offre decine di varianti, obiettivi e modalità cooperative che ampliano enormemente la profondità del gioco.
