What to Expect
You build and expand a theme park over multiple rounds, placing attractions, extending rail and transport routes, and attracting visitors for coins and points. Each round you select dice that offer two actions each and chain them to perform up to four actions, growing same‑colored attraction zones, building plateaus and your castle, and advancing a personal checklist. Jokers and doublers modify options and scoring markers open alternate scoring paths.
Who Is This Game For?
Targeted at seasoned players (14+), Orlando plays 1–4 players and lasts about 90 minutes. It suits players who enjoy interconnected euro mechanics and planning; newcomers should expect a learning curve and longer first sessions.
How It Works
The core is an action drafting system where you pick dice with two actions and combine them; Multi‑Use Cards, Drawing and Deck/Pool building influence choices. Worker Placement and Tile Placement drive park development while Network and Route Building and Connections steer visitor flow. Area Majority/Influence and Ladder Climbing create competing scoring paths, and Resource to Move elements affect mobility and value.
What Makes It Special

Setting & atmosphere
The game is set around designing and operating a theme park: attractions, transport routes, plateaus and a castle form the park's layout, as described in the game summary.
Tips for beginners
Focus first on understanding action combinations and how transport connections affect scoring instead of chasing every option at once.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play this solo?
Yes. The data lists players.min = 1, so solo play is supported.
How long does a game really take?
The listed duration is about 90 minutes; setup and teaching will add time for first plays.
What prior experience do I need?
It's aimed at experienced euro players; familiarity with Worker Placement and engine‑building helps.
How does this compare to similar games?
Orlando ties Worker Placement, Tile Placement and Network/Route Building tightly to theme, offering a stronger focus on visitor routing than many pure city‑builders.
Is this suitable for families?
With a minimum age of 14 and moderate complexity, it's better for older or experienced family members than for young children.
What mechanic makes it special?
The action drafting with two‑action dice that you chain each round is a defining mechanic.
Fazit
Orlando is a solid choice for players who like tactical engine building and route planning; casual groups seeking short games should look elsewhere.
