There is no rain here — instead, superheated water erupts from beneath the surface each year, flooding the lowlands and washing away anything caught below the floodline. Over millennia, this has created a world of two distinct ecological zones, and the bizarre lifeforms that have evolved to inhabit them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou play as the forces of nature itself, guiding the life cycles of the planet’s species to cultivate the most balanced and vibrant biome. Each round you manage a hand of cards and maximise your actions — but timing is everything. Plants and animals below the floodline are swept away at the end of each round, so knowing when to commit and when to hold back is the central tension of every game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a solo mode included and a play time of 45–60 minutes, \u003cem\u003eOasis\u003c\/em\u003e sits in an accessible but strategically satisfying space — light enough for a broad audience, deep enough to reward repeated play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s good?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique flood mechanic creates genuine round-by-round tension around timing and positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlien biome theme with genuinely distinctive world-building — not just reskinned Earth ecology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScales from 1 to 5 players with a solo mode included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45–60 minutes — substantial enough to feel rewarding without overstaying its welcome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight-medium complexity makes it accessible to a wide range of players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Fans of nature and ecology themes who want something genuinely otherworldly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Groups of 1–5 looking for a mid-weight game with strong thematic flavour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Solo players who want a thematic, replayable challenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✖ Players seeking heavy strategic depth — complexity sits firmly in the light–medium range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45–60 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight–Medium (2.00 \/ 5)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand management, tableau building, area control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Op Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAugust 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeorge Feledichuk, David “Duvey” Rudow, Leo Taylor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLOG-CSGOASISBOARD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700304159984\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5 × 7.4 × 27.4 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.40 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nature-animals\" title=\"Nature \/ Animals games\"\u003eNature \/ Animals collection\u003c\/a\u003e for more titles with a natural world theme, or explore our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/strategy-games\" title=\"Strategy Games\"\u003eStrategy Games collection\u003c\/a\u003e for more rewarding mid-weight titles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Op Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60367551660366,"sku":"LOG-CSGOASISBOARD","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/9812\/9230\/files\/oasis-new-life-on-a-distant-world.webp?v=1786561156","url":"https:\/\/lifeofgames.co.uk\/products\/oasis-new-life-on-a-distant-world","provider":"Life of Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
