Origo FAQ

Questions frequently asked about Origo:

Why can I place no more shields at the beginning, although I have not placed them all?

Consider the start up rules (max. of four shields in large countries, max. 2 in small)

Does the card I first placed score for the combat effectiveness during an attack?

Yes

What happens, if the second and third scoring spaces are uncovered during a round?

At the end of this round the tribal score will occur. The second tribal score will take place after the next round and the 3rd tribal score will take place during the round after that one.

What happens during scoring more than two players tie?

If for example three players tie for 1st place, they would all receive the score for 2nd place. The next rated score would then be 4th place.

Why does it bleep, when I want to attack a space?

Only spaces in countries already established may be attacked.

After a country has been established, does it need to be fully occupied before you can make an attack?

No, the country must have already been established. It does not have to be fully occupied.

Can you still move a shield from land to sea?

Yes, like when you move from sea to land.

Can I split up my actions?

Yes, for example you can place then attack then move or move then place then place etc.

Why do I, if all players pass, get a message that the game did not registered in the data base?

This game only scores as completed 6 countries have been established since if all the players have passed up until this point it is reasonable to believe that there are still many possibilities to play out the game. Since completion of a game means a payout in the Metagame, it has been decided to set this as an acceptable limit to ensure cheating in the Metagame does not occur.
