Description

In an alternative universe, Orkney is under attack by the Nazi’s, who are attempting to claim the islands for themselves, to give them a possession of the best Whiskey Distilleries. The Orcadians quickly take defence against their invaders, taking a stand towards those who would use their sacred drinks for nefarious purposes. The Nazi’s only have limited knowledge of the islands, but know of 6 key ways they can try to gain access to Kirkwall. Once they gain the Capital, all (whiskey) will be lost!

Orcadians receive gold then recruit units (cost = strength), placing them on the red circles.
Orcadians move and can attack any units in the next location.
Nazi’s draw cards and spawn units based on the cards
Nazi’s move their units towards Kirkwall along the path. If there is a unit there, they can attack. If the next location doesn’t have a unit, they can destroy it if they have a strength of 5 attack or more.

Game is over when there are no more Nazi cards to draw.
