Oros

Players act as demigods reshaping a shared landscape to teach followers the wisdom of the mountains. On individual player mats, followers move between limited action spaces to shift rows of land, collide and stack tiles, form and erupt volcanoes, and travel the changing terrain. Players build sacred places on mountain peaks and worship there to gain wisdom, which upgrades action abilities and increases the value of future sacred sites. A communal ziggurat tracks progress toward the endgame; when a player reaches the top the round finishes and final scoring occurs. The core play emphasizes spatial puzzle-solving as the terrain continually rearranges, combined with an evolving action-economy on each player mat.
