Each round you draw a handful out at random and place them onto action spaces, and what you can do that round is dictated entirely by who happened to come out of the bag. Reiner Stockhausen designed it and it remains the best argument for the bag-building mechanism anyone has made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clever part is that recruiting a specialist is never simply good - every disc you add dilutes the draw for every other disc you already wanted. So the game is really about restraint: a lean bag that reliably produces the four people you need beats a fat bag full of options you cannot summon on demand. There is a lot of game here and it moves faster than its weight suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anyone who has ever over-filled a deck and watched their good cards stop showing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2-4 players | 90 minutes | Age 12+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Capstone Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49938422562968,"sku":null,"price":114.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cartellgames.com.au\/products\/orleans","provider":"Cartell Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
