📖 About This Game
The Awful Orphanage is a mildly devious tabletop game for 2 to 6 players.
Take control of a unique Orphan and navigate the ever changing rooms and corridors of Ms. Prendergast's Home for Wayward Children uncovering loot, avoiding orderlies and escaping from the nefarious Gaunt & Sinister Man!
Players take it in turns searching rooms in the hope of finding one of the hidden magical items with which you will free yourself from the Orphanage and end the reign of terror.
Use items including Pots & Pans, Bricks and Bottles to fight the Orderlies then ruin your friends turn with tricks including Bags of Marbles and Itching Powder all whilst dodging the Orphanage employees! Whatever you do, always look over your shoulder when trying to escape The Awful Orphanage!
