About the game
The Land of Oz is shifting. Help the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, the Cowardly Lion, and Dorothy to make a colorful and magic world where the mountains, seas and deserts live together with the poppy fields, the forests and, of course, the Yellow Brick Road. Glenda — the good witch of the north — will help you, but be careful because Mombi — the wicked witch of the west — will not make it easy for you. Oziland is a family game of tile placement, fast and beautiful, with two game modes. In the first one each player builds their own Land of Oz in their playzone with the help of characters from the book. In the second play mode, all the players have to build the Land of Oz in a race to discover who is the most glorious builder in this fantastic world. ••• El Reino de Oz está cambiando. Ayuda al Espantapájaros, al Leñador de Hojalata, al León Cobarde y a Dorothy a crear un colorido y mágico mundo, en el que sus montañas, mares y desiertos convivan con sus campos de amapolas, sus bosques y, por supuesto, el camino de baldosas amarillas. La Bruja Glenda os ayudará, pero cuidado con la Bruja del Oeste… no está por la labor de colaborar. Oziland es un juego familiar de colocación de losetas, rápido y vistoso, que tiene dos modos de juego distintos: en el primero, cada jugador construirá su propio reino de Oz en su zona de juego ayudado por las habilidades de los personajes del famoso libro, mientras que en el segundo modo todos los jugadores construirán Oz en el centro de la mesa, en una carrera para ver quién es el primero que se queda sin losetas en la mano.

Questions and answers
Oziland 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 Oziland is 15–30 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 Oziland 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.
Oziland has a complexity rating of 1.7 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.
