The Orcfather
In a fantasy underworld, rival families of orcs, elves, ogres, undead, dwarves, and other characters compete for control of the streets. Each family elects a godfather, and the objective is to eliminate the rival family’s leader. Each round begins with a silent planning phase. Players secretly choose to attack, defend, or conduct business, relying on intuition to coordinate with allies and anticipate opponents. Actions are then resolved in order. Business cards provide attack enhancements, defensive options, and ways to assist family members in difficult situations.
