Orloj: L'horloge astronomique de Prague (FR)

*French version

Orloj: The Prague Astronomical Clock (FR) takes you to the heart of Prague to take part in the creation of a legendary monument. In this strategy game, you play a master craftsman tasked with completing the calendar of the famous Orloj, a fascinating astronomical clock dating back to the Middle Ages. Each turn, you place your workers on the dial to gather resources, trigger actions, and move closer to the final construction. The balance between planning, adaptation, and optimization sits at the heart of the experience.

The game skillfully combines several modern mechanisms such as worker placement, resource management, and upgrade tracks. You will develop your workshop, hire assistants, and improve your skills across three major tracks. Every decision affects your efficiency, while managing deviations adds constant tension. Building the gears, zodiac signs, and calendar pieces becomes a true strategic challenge where every action counts.

You will also need to keep an eye on the rooster and apostles mechanism, which paces the game and influences the final score. When the calendar is completed, the player with the most harmony points wins the game.

Orloj: The Prague Astronomical Clock (FR) is for you if you are looking for a deep expert game, rich in decisions and highly replayable. You will especially enjoy this title if you like complex games with several interlocking systems and a constant strategic progression, whether solo or with friends.

An interesting fact: the game draws directly from the real Prague astronomical clock, whose original dial dates back to 1410. The calendar added later, around 1865, is also represented in the game, reinforcing its historical immersion.

This game was designed by Abraham Sanchez Hermida and Paloma J. Pascual, two designers known for their immersive strategic creations. The detailed illustrations by Jesus Fuentes and Amelia Sales bring this fascinating mechanical and historical universe to life.
