Orcs Must Die! The Board Game: Unchained Edition

Players defend a fortress from successive waves of invading enemies in a cooperative tactical board game for 1–4 players. Each player chooses a hero with unique abilities, weapons, and powers, then builds a map from tiles and places traps throughout the defenses. During each turn, enemies advance toward the Guardian and Rift while heroes move, fight, and prepare the stronghold. Defeated enemies provide skulls that can be spent on weapons, upgrades, items, and additional traps. Three increasingly difficult Onslaughts test the defenses, with victory depending on careful positioning and preparation. The Unchained edition features its own heroes, enemies, items, and traps, and can be combined with the Order edition for team-based head-to-head play.
