About the Game

Rise to King Ortler is a turn-based, family-friendly board game with elements of strategy and randomness – inspired by classics like Ludo, but with far more interaction and variety. Move your characters across dynamic game boards, use items, and master unique maps with their own rules and effects.

In campaign mode, you'll gradually unlock 8 different maps – each featuring new mechanics and challenges. Once unlocked, these maps become available in Free Play mode, where you can fully customize your match: Choose the number of players (1–4), assign human or AI opponents, and select your preferred map.

A special feature is the built-in name editor, allowing you to give your characters custom names to bring your matches to life.
