Oros

Oros is a strategy game involving tile-colliding, volcano erupting, and mountain-making. Each player acts as a Demigod tasked with instructing their Followers in the wisdom of the mountains through study, worship, and experience. Players move their Followers between action spaces, manipulating a shared environment like a giant puzzle of plate tectonics. Action spaces allow players to shift rows of land, move and collide land tiles, form and erupt volcanoes, worship to gain wisdom, and build sacred places of study and worship on mountains. Building sacred places and worshipping in them brings wisdom, which is used to improve the abilities available for each action space and to increase the end game value of each sacred place built. When building sacred places, the Demigods of the Wise One ascend a ziggurat that acts as a timer toward the end of the game. When one reaches the top, players finish the round and then tally a final score. Oros features an infinitely connected play environment, turning every action into a puzzle of creative problem solving and evolving strategy.
