OMG is a board game released in 2015 for 2–6 players, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by George Christofidis and its main mechanics are Hand Management.
For thousands of years, Zeus has been the ruler of Olympus. After countless attempts from the other gods to overthrow him, he announces a final fighting contest among the twelve gods, allowing them to use their special powers to the fullest. Only one god will rule Olympus. Who will prevail? In OMG, players play cards from their hands trying to match the color, the number, or the god of the previous card while also making use of the gods' special powers. The first player to empty his hand wins.
OMG supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for OMG is 10–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists OMG for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
OMG has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
OMG belongs to these categories: Card Game, Humor, and Mythology. Its main mechanics are Hand Management. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of OMG are: George Christofidis. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists OMG as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
