Description

This War of Mine: Orphans is a challenging and emotional expansion to the original game, where you'll take on the responsibility of protecting and caring for children in the midst of war. These young ones don't fully understand the gravity of their situation, and it's up to you to keep them safe and fed. As you navigate the difficulties of survival, you'll have to balance the needs of your new family members, who require attention and care but can't contribute much to scavenging or building. This adds a new layer of complexity to the game, making it even more immersive and intense. With the Orphans expansion, you'll receive new miniatures, fittings like a bike, and special cards that give each child unique characteristics. The expansion also includes 30 additional story snippets that delve into the experiences of children in war, adding depth and emotional resonance to the game. Designed by Jakub Wiśniewski, this 2017 expansion is suitable for 1 to 6 players and can be played in 45 to 120 minutes. While it may be more challenging than the original game, the rules are still of normal complexity, making it accessible to fans of board games. As you play, you'll be drawn into a world of adventure, exploration, and storytelling, where the stakes are high and the rewards are great.
