Description
About This Game
Two Lich Kings. Two Hosts of the Dead.
ORB27 is a turn-based tactical board game where every piece moves differently, every trade matters, and the battlefield itself is never neutral. Command your Lich King, Seer, Necromancer, Witch, Wraith, and five Skeletons against a rival host, using each unit's unique movement and combat pattern to out-maneuver an opponent who's doing the same to you.
The board shifts between day and night on its own clock, and whichever side the light favors takes less damage in every trade — so timing your aggression isn't optional, it's the game. Your Necromancer can raise a fresh Skeleton once the last one falls, keeping your ranks fed, while a Skeleton that survives its advance and reaches the enemy's stronghold rises as a Wraith, transforming into one of the deadliest pieces on the board. Every decision happens against a real clock: hesitate too long on your turn, and it passes without you.
Included with the game is two text files that you can experiment with by altering the health and strategy of pieces.
There is no filler here — just a small, tightly-scoped board of consequential decisions, rendered in a dark, atmospheric fantasy style
