Description

In the ancient world of Osiris, 2 to 4 players take on the role of devoted followers, each seeking to gain the favor of the gods. With a playtime of 60 minutes, this game is perfect for a fun and engaging evening with friends. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and the game's mechanics, such as Secret Unit Deployment, add a layer of strategy and excitement. Players must distribute their support between the gods, using magnetic stickers to connect priests to their respective deities in secret. This unique mechanism allows for a thrilling power struggle as players maneuver their priests to reach the pinnacle of a pyramid. As the game unfolds, players will find themselves immersed in the world of ancient Egypt, with its rich history and mythology. The game's graphics are nicely done, adding to the overall atmosphere and immersion. With 12 priests and 12 gods to contend with, the competition is fierce, and the stakes are high. The ultimate goal is to have the most supporters in the temple of the hidden god, revealed at the top of the pyramid. Designed by Hartmut Witt and first published in 1995, Osiris is a classic game that has stood the test of time, offering a fun and challenging experience for players of all ages.
