Ophir

About this board game

Ophir is a pick-up-and-deliver and set-collection board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 60 minutes. Set in an ancient, prosperous world, it casts each player as an influential figure in government, trade, or religion, united by one goal: constructing the Temple.

The Temple rises layer by layer through the collective delivery of Silver and Gold. Sail your merchant ship among seven locations, gathering goods and managing your cargo so you can fulfill demand at the Market for Coins or exchange resources at the Temple for Favor. Precious metals delivered to the Temple earn Victory Points.

Success depends on making well-timed trades, using limited cargo space efficiently, and planning tactical transportation across the region’s seas. You must also keep an eye on the pace of construction, because the game ends immediately when the Temple is complete.

• Pick up goods and deliver them where they are most valuable.
• Collect sets and respond to the mercurial Market.
• Compete against rival players without direct conflict.
• Use exclusive player roles and a modular setup for varied play.

With an approachable map and an atmosphere suited to families, Ophir offers an accessible introduction to trading and delivery games. At the same time, its changing market, role differences, and race to finish the Temple create tactical decisions and tension for experienced players.

Choose your path through trade, government, or religion, then turn your influence and resources into a lasting contribution. Will your name be remembered alongside the stories of Ophir’s wonder?
