Ominoes

Winner of the UK GAMES EXPO Award for BEST ABSTRACT GAME 2017

1864, Ominus Valley, Egypt - a hoard of 6,000-year-old game cubes is found. No one knows how to play this mysterious game - until now when this ancient game is reborn as Ominoes.

In this abstract strategy/tactical game, 2-4 players want to collect their favored gods - Horus, Ra, Apep, and Khepri - in groups to earn points. They do this by rolling custom dice that both determine actions and are placed on the game board to count as a piece of the player's color. On a turn, the active player does the following:

Roll: Take a die and roll it.

Move: Move a die on the board that matches the rolled color exactly three spaces.

Place: Placing the die just rolled on the board, possibly scoring a group.
