Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. Puzzly tile laying game where players take 15 tiles over the course of the game. + Artwork (detailed, cartoony and colorful) + Restrictive spatial tile laying puzzle (due to colors and further restrictions on the tile) + Flipping a tile provides freedom at a small victory point penalty + Taking a tile generates cubes (worship / currency) on adjacent cubes on the market which can be used to buy the tile itself + Easy to teach # Abstract game with a colorful theme # Low player interaction: buying tiles on the shared market and thus generating cubes # Very thinky and quite: game gets tougher and more restrictive over time - Replayability: 5 different kinds of tiles Similar games: * Penguin-Party (hand management game with pyramid layout by Reiner Knizia)

  2. 7 out of 10

    Not bad. We play it in 2 people and it can be a bit repetitive. I think it is better to play in 4 for more variety.

  3. 5 out of 10

    Inoffensive pool-drafting game with some spatial considerations. The best thing I can say is that it works. However, it really does not instill any sort of excitement. I like pool-drafting, but it seems that many games make it into dull process rather than tense trade-offs.

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!
