Ubisoft invented a new addicting game in Assassin's Creed Valhalla with Orlog and fans have begun creating their own versions of the tabletop game.

Orlog is a popular game among the citizens of Assassin's Creed Valhalla and although some official physical versions of the tabletop game exist, an enthusiastic fan has recreated the game from the ground up with a unique design.

Ubisoft created Orlog exclusively for Assassin's Creed Valhalla as a side-activity that Vikings can do between raids and a fan of the title has recreated the tabletop game. Reddit user Showerthoughts0701 recently shared their version of Orlog, showing off their craftsmanship and attention to detail. All of the important features of Orlog are included and the Reddit user has even created a rules sheet for anyone who's unfamiliar with the board game.

Orlog is a complicated game at face value but as Assassin's Creed Valhalla fans have come to realize, it plays well. The board game involves shaking six dice in a cup in order to defend against or attack their opponent. After the initial phase of Orlog, players make offerings in order to receive a God Favor which will benefit them in some way. The Resolution Phase calculates everything from each dice that players roll and their respective God Favor. The player who is defeated at the conclusion of the Resolution Phase loses points and the next round begins.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla introduced millions of fans to Orlog and Showerthoughts0701's recreation is what you might expect royalty in the game to play with. Instead of the antique cups that Vikings shake their dice in when playing Orlog in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, in two months Showerthoughts0701 has created extremely detailed wooden cups. Unlike the cups in Valhalla, these ones have runes laser engraved into the base.

While the dice cups look extremely unique to Showerthoughts0701's version of Orlog, the dice and Gods of the board game look almost exactly like those in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's version of the game. The tokens that represent the health of each player look very similar, but have a golden color. Showerthoughts0701 purchased two small chests to hold each player's cards, dice, etc., and one large chest to hold everything. These chests have been laser engraved like the other items in order to offer an aesthetic that would feel at home in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

While PureArts has already created and sold 500 limited Orlog sets that were officially licensed, it's impressive to see an Assassin's Creed Valhalla create their own unique set. Orlog may receive other official releases in the future, but that didn't stop Showerthoughts0701 from creating their own set which is already catching the eye of several other Valhalla fans on Reddit.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available right now for Google Stadia, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
