An interesting looking tile shifting game is arriving from Lucky Duck Games in early 2023.

About the game:
The Wise One, immortal keeper of wisdom and knowledge, has sent Demigods endowed with earth-moving power to the far reaches of humanity. In Oros, you are one of these demigods. Instruct your followers in the wisdom of the mountains through study, worship, and experience. Only in the heights of the mountains can the greatest mysteries be known.
Oros is a game of strategy in which you will be faced with choices between moving the land itself, erupting volcanoes, building shrines, or repositioning your followers on every turn. Shift the land itself, move and collide tiles, form and erupt volcanoes, worship to gain wisdom, journey around the ever-changing landscape, and build sacred monuments in the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge.
Customize your actions by moving your followers between upgradeable action spaces on individual player mats.
Manipulate a shared environment like a giant puzzle of plate tectonics. Shift, move, build up, erupt, and reposition the land by sliding and colliding tiles on the shared board.
Every action is a puzzle of creative problem solving, abstract thinking, and constantly evolving strategy.
Oros will appeal to players who enjoy competitive, highly strategic Euro-style games, thematic games, and games with unique mechanics.
