Orc-lympics (2018)

About this game

Poison brewing? Stubborn donkey pushing? Table flipping? Let the Orc-lympics begin! In Orc-lympics, players draft a team of orcs, elves, halflings and other fantasy Olympians, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. They then enter these Olympians into a series of seven events. To claim a medal, a player's Olympians must have the highest or second highest total in the appropriate skill. The player who claims the most valuable collection of medals across the seven events wins! —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
