Orcs Must Die! The Board Game: Order Edition

Players cooperate to defend a fortress and its Rift from waves of orcs and other monsters. Each player chooses a hero with unique abilities, weapons, and equipment, then explores a tile-based map, fights enemies, and places traps to slow the advancing hordes. Defeated enemies provide trophy skulls that can be spent on weapons, upgrades, traps, and improvements for the Guardian. Three increasingly difficult Onslaughts test the defenses, while fast dice-based combat determines attacks and enemy defeats. The game supports 1–4 players and includes scenarios for building custom fortress maps.
