Orbis

Orbis

2018·Tim Armstrong (II)

2 - 4 players
45 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Orbis is a tactical game of world development and strategic resource management, in which players take on the roles of gods creating their best universes. Utilizing lands lost in the aether, players accumulate worshippers to spend on even more fruitful lands - some of which grant game-changing bonuses. The key to victory lies in having the most creation points (CPs) at the end of the game! On your turn, you must take a tile from either the nine region tiles in the center of the table or the available God tiles. (A player may take only one God tile throughout the game.) Every time you take a region tile, worshippers of the same color as the tile taken are placed on adjacent tiles, making the tiles left behind more enticing for the next player. Restrictions apply to region tile placement, making each decision tougher than the last! After fifteen rounds, the game ends when all players have created their universe, at which point CPs are calculated, bonus tiles awarded, and a winner is crowned. Beautifully simple yet rich in strategy, Orbis is a different game each and every time you play it. Become the best god and craft your most prosperous universe!
