Description
In Orleans, players draw followers from a personal bag to activate actions and develop their influence across medieval France. Each round, you strategically select a number of follower tokens from your bag, representing different roles like farmers, monks, knights, and traders. These followers allow you to expand your network, acquire goods, construct buildings, and advance on various development tracks.

The core gameplay revolves around optimizing your bag of followers, carefully adding and removing tokens to improve your efficiency and tailor your strategy to the evolving game state. The challenge lies in balancing short-term gains with long-term goals, as you compete with other players to establish the most prosperous domain and earn victory points.
