Description

**Orconomics** is a competitive business simulation game themed around orcs channeling their aggression into corporate rivalry, where players vie to dominate 10 industrial sectors. Key mechanics include: - *Company founding* Players establish companies across a randomly assembled board of 10 sectors with varying values and interconnections for high replayability. - *Sector abilities and effects* Companies generate income or losses and unlock abilities, such as Totemology leaders sending crises to opponents' sectors, enabling tactical variety. - *Victory pursuit* First to found 10 companies wins, or fewer via completing Greed, Rage, or Dare business quests. - *Version 2.0 updates* Introduces new quest-based victory conditions, influence card-linked sector activations, fully reworked abilities, and reinvented startup mechanics. Orconomics is a 2-5 player game casting players as orcish entrepreneurs in a cutthroat business arena, supplanting heroic battles with corporate conquests. The modular board randomizes 10 industrial sectors each game, creating dynamic economies where sectors influence one another variably. Players build empires by founding companies that yield income, incur losses, or bestow potent abilities—like crisis infliction on rivals—fostering diverse strategies. Victory demands founding 10 companies first, though savvy fulfillment of Greed, Rage, or Dare quests can secure triumph sooner. The 2.0 edition overhauls core systems: quest-driven wins replace strict counts, sector powers tie directly to influence cards, abilities receive complete redesigns, and startup processes are wholly reinvented for enhanced depth and competition.
