Description

Orkney: die schottischen Inseln drops you into a breezy, yet surprisingly deep, race to shape the legendary Scottish isles. In a snug hour you and three to four friends (or just a partner) will pull tiles from a shared pool, snapping them onto the board to expand coastlines, connect settlements and claim fertile ground for your budding civilization. The magic is in the map‑addition mechanic – every new tile reshapes the landscape, so you’re constantly reacting to fresh opportunities and rival moves. Designer Mark Sienholz kept the rules light enough to jump in after a quick glance, but the strategic tension of where to place that crucial piece keeps the game feeling fresh round after round. Whether you’re a tile‑placement fanatic or just looking for a lively, 60‑minute showdown of island‑building wit, Orkney delivers a charming, competitive slice of Scottish history that’s easy to learn, hard to put down.
