GaGa Games has kept its promise and opened pre-orders for the board game "Orloj: Heart of Old Prague," in which all game elements are embodied in the form of a grandiose astronomical clock.
Thanks to a special promotion, this project for 1–4 people can now be purchased for 4490 rubles (instead of 5990 rubles). With each pre-order, the team will include two exclusive hammer promo cards for even more variety at the start and a wooden tower figurine that can be used as a first player marker.
"Orloj: Heart of Old Prague" is a fairly simple game. On their turn, players either perform an action or pass (returning their workers). There are no traditional rounds here — participants simply take turns until the end of the game is triggered.
First, participants turn the small astronomical dial on the central field clockwise, then the large dial counterclockwise. After that, they place a worker in the sector indicated by the arrow. In this way, players choose a combination of two available actions. Of course, the dials rotate with certain restrictions, so sometimes you have to allow gears to break in order to get what you want.
The most important action is construction, which allows you to build the calendar and zodiac dials of the clock. This requires spending quite a lot of resources, as well as sending your worker to the selected dial. Construction is the main source of victory points. Players get additional points if their meeples on the dials form groups.
In addition to construction, you can place a Sculptor, improve resource production on your personal tablet, use the Moon or the Artist, expand your workshop, buy cards, and obtain Apostle tokens.
The Russian edition is printed at the same factory as the world edition. The board game "Orloj: Heart of Old Prague" will most likely appear in the warehouse in October 2026.
