Game overview

 Oros is a worker placement and tile-laying game. You are going to move tiles on a board with a grid. Depending on the action you choose, you will move rows or columns to form islands. In addition to moving the board itself, you will also send out your workers to build knowledge and to build sacred temples.

 Each player has their own individual player board where their progress is tracked. On this player board you also determine which actions you will perform in your turn with a strong roundel mechanism. You are going to place a worker on the action you want to perform, you can only place a worker if no other worker is there yet. So you have to plan your actions carefully ahead otherwise you will not come out well.

The actions consist of moving land tiles in different ways, causing volcanic eruptions, sending your workers to school, moving workers around the map or building sacred temples. These actions have a base strength that you will upgrade as you gain wisdom throughout the game.

There are tiles on the central board, with both water and land. The tiles differ from 1 to 4 in the number of areas that contain land. You can only place or move the tiles according to certain rules. If tiles collide with each other, the value increases and volcanoes can form. When two tiles with level 4 land collide, the holy place is created where you can build temples and score points.

At the end of the game, all points are added together. You score points by placing workers on the holy temples and by upgrading your actions. The player with the most points wins the game.
