Description

Origin is a game of exploration and discovery where 2 to 4 players take on the role of guiding the expansion of mankind across the globe. Starting from the heart of Africa, players place and move pieces on the board, each with unique characteristics, to spread their influence and control. The game is easy to learn, and a typical play session lasts around 45 to 60 minutes. As players take turns, they can place new pieces, move existing ones, or take over regions controlled by opponents. The game rewards strategic thinking and planning, with players earning points for occupying key areas, acquiring technology tiles, and completing objectives. With its simple rules and engaging gameplay, Origin is a fun and challenging experience that lets players shape the course of human history. Designed by Andrea Mainini and published in 2013, Origin is a great choice for those who enjoy exploration and prehistoric-themed games.
