OrcQuest: Old Foes 3 – The Haughty Elves is an expansion for OrcQuest released in 2018 for 2–6 players and 15–45 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Open Drafting.
The last old foes of our beloved Orcs are here: the haughty Elves! Many centuries ago, Elves battled Orcs with a noble cause in their haughty minds. Their empire fell and Elves barely escaped their own extinction, unlike Orcs who were always numerous. Since then, Elves went to live in their flowered, magical island. Sometimes, they come back for some mysterious reason – maybe to take back some old artefact, or to save a kidnapped princess? Who knows? They are still enemies of Orcs and they won’t hesitate to kill any greenskin on their way. You will finally have the pleasure to slap their arrogant faces! But, be careful, they are resistant to magic and skilled to kill you from afar. —description from the publisher
