We review Joan of Arc Orleans Drawn and Write, published by Capstone Games. In the Orleans Drawn and Write, players are drawing followers out of a bag and using them to cross off things on their sheet.
Joan of Arc was a heroic fighter who helped lead the French Army to a victory at the city of Orleans.

This review should be seen as a stand-alone review which will be more beneficial for gamers that are unfamiliar with the original game Orleans.
