Oros (EN)

The Wise One has called upon the demigods to reshape the world. In Oros, you play as one of these beings, guiding your followers to learn the wisdom of the mountains through worship, study, and experience. Move landmasses, collide continents, and raise towering mountains where sacred sites can be built.

This abstract strategy and worker placement game introduces a groundbreaking system of tile shifting and erupting volcanoes. On your personal mat, move followers to perform actions: shift rows of land, form mountains, send disciples to study, or build sacred sites to earn wisdom and ascend the ziggurat of enlightenment.

Every action reshapes the shared map like a living puzzle of tectonic plates. As you progress, unlock powerful upgrades and increase the value of your sacred places. When a demigod reaches the top of the ziggurat, the final round is triggered and the wisest among you wins.

Oros is for you if you enjoy deep, elegant strategy games with a spatial puzzle twist. If you liked Planet Unknown, Cascadia, or Tapestry, you’ll love the creative mechanics and breathtaking visuals of this mythic experience.

Fun fact: Oros is the debut design of Brandt Brinkerhoff, who also illustrated the game.
