Description
The Awful Orphanage is a thrilling adventure game for 1 to 6 players that's all about escaping the clutches of the nefarious Gaunt & Sinister Man. Published in 2019 by designers Tim Fisher and Paul Keene, this game is easy to learn but packed with excitement. Players take on the role of unique orphans, navigating the ever-changing rooms and corridors of Ms. Prendergast's Home for Wayward Children, searching for hidden magical items to aid in their escape. With a playtime of 40 to 90 minutes, you'll need to use your wits and a bit of luck to outsmart the orderlies and your fellow players. Use items like Pots & Pans, Bricks, and Bottles to fight off your enemies, and tricks like Bags of Marbles and Itching Powder to ruin your friends' turns. In this cooperative game, you'll need to work together to survive, but only one can be the ultimate winner. Will you be the one to escape The Awful Orphanage, or will you be trapped forever?
