Orion Duel

About the game

What is Orion Duel?

Will you be able to cross the universe and join one of the Orion nebulas? On the way, you will find black holes that will weaken you to death or galaxies that will make you stronger. Plan your maneuvers well because each of your moves can give your opponent an opportunity to get closer to victory. Your tiles possess two colors, yours in majority, and your opponent's color as well. Try to connect your tiles smartly while not giving too much opportunities. You can win in 3 different ways: by connecting 2 opposite sides of the board with an unbroken chain of hexagons of your color; by collecting 4 GALAXY PIECES on connected hexagons of your color; or by making your opponent get 3 BLACK HOLE PIECES on connected hexagons of his/her color. Pay attention to all 3 possibilities! Do not let any of them escape your mind. -description from publisher
