About...
You play as a Vorax extensio (VOREX), an invasive carnivorous plant. Feeding on fungi, insects and water, your goal is to spread quickly, competing for control of strategic locations in the forest that you expand throughout the game.
The rules of Vorex are very easy to learn but the game offers the feeling of a strategy game in a very short playing time, bringing a strong spatial dimension to a simple game engine.
In turn, players perform two actions, choosing from the 3 possible:
- expand the board by placing forest tiles;
- collect resources produced by their flowers on the board;
- place a new flower on the board, paying the required price - they may get a discount if it is next to another of their flowers. Depending on where the flower is placed, it may produce additional resources for the rest of the game, or provide a free action immediately.
The game ends when a player places their 13th flower. Each game offers different scoring criteria, ensuring excellent replay value.
You'll need to set up a sufficient production engine, block other players, build the board according to your objectives, and place your flowers wisely to win a game of Vorex.
