⚔️ Orlog - Assassin's Creed Valhalla Dice Game

A fully playable browser-based implementation of the Orlog dice game from Assassin's Creed Valhalla, built with React.

🎮 Game Overview

Orlog is a strategic dice game where two players compete to reduce their opponent's health to zero through tactical dice rolls and divine blessings.
