	Description Edit \| History

Play the popular OOTS board game in just two hours with The Shortening expansion. With new monsters, new shticks, new backstories, and a certain lich who isn't going to just sit around and wait for you to get to the bottom of the dungeon, you'll have more fun in half the time.

Based on the popular web-comic, Order of the Stick.
