Gorkamorka (1997)

About this game

This is a tabletop miniatures wargame that is based mainly on conflicts between Orks stranded on a dead planet, separated into two factions: those that believe in the god Gork and the others the god Mork; Gorkers and Morkers respectively. Players design Ork mobs comprised of a small number of warriors and their vehicles. The game uses a unique system of movement for trucks, wartraks and bikes to locate riches and beat up rival mobs. The game allows you to build up your mobs similar to Necromunda but does have more humorous appeal to it. One expansion was produced, Digganob, which added some more factions to the mix including Muties (mutant riders) and Diggas (Ork-obsessed humans), along with additional scenarios and special characters.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
