Oros – Move the earth, create mountains, ascend to wisdom
In Oros, you're not just a player: you're a demigod capable of shaping the earth . With a single gesture, you can make continents collide, raise mountains, erupt volcanoes, and guide your Followers toward knowledge. But beware: your every action transforms the shared map, an ever-evolving puzzle that can open new opportunities... or destroy your plans.
It's a strategic, abstract game for 1–4 players that combines worker placement, action management, and territory construction . Each Follower can study, travel, or worship at the sacred sites you'll build in the mountains, and each act of faith will bring you wisdom to enhance your future actions. The more your people grow, the more your power amplifies, until it leads you to the pinnacle of the divine ziggurat that marks the end of the game.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
A power that moves mountains.
In Oros, you are not a simple player, but a Demigod sent by the Sage , the immortal keeper of knowledge. Your mission is to guide your followers through volcanoes, shifting plates, and rising and falling mountain ranges, to teach them the true wisdom hidden in the highest peaks.
A living board that changes with every move.
The board is never static: land tiles slide, collide, rise into mountains, and finally erupt in spectacular volcanic explosions. Your every action literally shapes the world, creating a dynamic puzzle that tests logic, strategic vision, and timing.
Followers, wisdom and sacred places.
Your followers move around their personal board to activate key actions: moving clods, erecting sacred sites, traveling, and praying . Each act of worship and construction brings new wisdom, which translates into enhanced abilities, new possibilities, and valuable points toward final victory.
A race for knowledge that marks time.
By building sacred places, the Demigods ascend the great ziggurat of the Sage : each step is a countdown to the end of the game. When one reaches the summit, there is only one last turn left before the reckoning of who has left the deepest mark on the fate of the world.
A game that never plays the same twice.
With its mix of minimalist worker placement and action evolution, Oros offers dozens of possible strategies and ever-changing gameplay. Prepare to bend the earth to your will, combining creativity and planning to turn every eruption into a winning opportunity. 🌋

The power of creation is yours: move, erupt, build… and master wisdom
A puzzle of tectonic plates, volcanoes, and divine wisdom
Oros – Harness the power of the Earth and create legendary mountains
In Oros, you are not just a player: you are a demigod sent by the Sage to shape the world. With the power of the earth in your hands, you will make volcanoes erupt , move entire continents, and lead your followers in search of the wisdom hidden within the mountains .
Every action is a piece in a gigantic cosmic puzzle, where the landscape changes before your eyes. Build sacred sites, raise mountain ranges, and prove yourself worthy of eternal knowledge.
A strategy game that evolves like the Earth itself
Created by Brandt Brinkerhoff and published by Lucky Duck Games , Oros is a strategic, abstract board game that blends worker placement with a unique tile movement and plate tectonics system.
The heart of the game is the ability to shape the shared board : collide tiles, create volcanoes, erupt them, and transform them into sacred mountains. Here, your followers can study, worship, and bring wisdom to your people, allowing you to climb the great ziggurat , which marks the countdown to the end of the game.
With a medium-high level of complexity, Oros is designed for those who love deep strategic challenges , multiple combinations , and games that reinvent themselves every time. Every game is different: new configurations, new possibilities, new strategies to explore.
We played it… and we felt like demigods 🐸
In Oros, we found ourselves faced with a game that doesn't forgive distraction : every choice moves the entire game world, and a single move can change the fate of the game. Making a volcano erupt and watching the map transform before your eyes is a moment of pure satisfaction 🗻🔥.
It's not an immediate title; it takes some time to master the rules and manage your own personal board. But once you get into the swing of things, Oros offers a powerful, original, and satisfying experience, combining the tension of an abstract puzzle with the grandeur of an ancestral myth.
