The Elven Champions gather, test their weapons, draw up their resolve. Under the earth, the Orcish King rails against the Elves, exhorting his troops to blood-frenzy. The Queen of the Elves bids her heroes to her, impresses upon them the nature of their task. Tonight the battle will rage. A thousand Orcs will come to slaughter, and a handful of Elves will return the favor. HeroCard OrcWars is an asymmetrical fantasy game of fierce combat for two players.
