Orbis

About this board game

Orbis is a tactical world-development and resource-management game for 2–4 players, with sessions lasting around 45 minutes. Each player takes the role of a god striving to create the most prosperous universe.

Across fifteen rounds, players gather lands lost in the aether and accumulate worshippers to spend on more fruitful region tiles. On every turn, a player must take one tile from the nine region tiles in the center of the table or choose from the available God tiles. Each player may take only one God tile during the game.

Every region tile taken changes the opportunities left for everyone else. Worshippers matching the color of the chosen tile are placed on adjacent tiles, making those remaining lands more enticing for the next player. Restrictions on region tile placement add further tension, so each decision becomes tougher as a universe takes shape.

• Choose between central region tiles and available God tiles.
• Use worshippers to obtain more fruitful lands.
• Navigate placement restrictions and changing opportunities.
• Compete for creation points and bonus tiles.

When the fifteen rounds are complete, all players have created their universes. Creation points are then calculated, bonus tiles are awarded, and the player with the most CPs wins.

With simple core choices and plenty of strategic pressure, Orbis offers a different challenge every time it reaches the table. Build carefully, manage your worshippers, and become the best god by crafting the most prosperous universe.
