Good filler game, if a little limited in diversity/replayability. I enjoy the decisions presented to you on your turn, especially in the 2-pp. game: you know exactly which cubes you're going to open up to your opponent, and which tiles both you and they may want, so it becomes an interesting strategic back-and-forth 2-pp. game. The luck of the draw is somewhat of a problem, but is mitigated by the tile flipping action, which dramatically open up possibilities on your board. I wish there were more powers on the tiles and more gods, because I'm afraid without some more complexity this will get old quite fast.

Видях я и се влюбих. Дизайна на плочките е страхотен, а играта е забавна и лесна за усвояване. Въпреки бързото разучаване има доста стратегии и до последно всеки се бори за победа. Надявам се да има и разширения. I saw her and I fell in love. The design of the tiles is great, and the game is fun and easy to learn. There are a lot of strategies and until the end everyone struggles to win. I hope there are expansions.

You must be logged in to post a review.

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!
