Oban’s Universe

🇫🇷

THE WORLD OF OBAN

OBAN immerses you in an abstract world where strategy, anticipation, and mastery of flow are key. Thanks to an energy ball — the flow — pieces can interact in unprecedented ways. Every action shapes the terrain, the roles, and the rhythm of the battle.

Dive into OBAN’s tactical and immersive world. A new universe where chess meets team play.

OBAN — A modern mind-sport universe

Played on a hexagonal board with mechanics inspired by American football — initiative, positioning, creating openings — in a non-violent, readable, strategic frame. The goal: create play, gain advantage, and convert your flow at the right moment.

Core rules

  • Goal: progress, open lanes, convert advantage.
  • Turn: anticipate → position → trigger (move, pass, protect, pressure…).
  • Clarity: few actions, rich combinations via timing & placement.
  • Setup: standard PC, clean UI, decision-focused.

Roles (sports analogy)

  • QB — vision & decision: orients play, fixes defense, initiates openings.
  • WR — projection & opportunity: gets open, turns a window into action.
  • RB — progression & conversion: secures gain and closes.

These roles are reading lenses: any player can adopt them depending on the situation.

Game modes

  • 1v1: duel of reads & tempo (onboarding & high-level).
  • 2v2: coordination, coverage, co-decision.
  • Draft / Variants: tailored pacing for showcases, tournaments, workshops.

Spectator experience

  • Fast & readable: short sequences, visible stakes.
  • Playmaking: highlight moments around flow.
  • Broadcast-ready: minimal overlay + key data for casting.
📘 Request the Rulebook

Two worlds. One shared logic.

On the left, an offensive play drawn on a football field.
On the right, a tactical maneuver on a chessboard.

Two seemingly opposite disciplines, yet rooted in the same essence:
anticipation, positioning, game reading, adaptation.

OBAN merges these worlds.
Every piece has a role. Every move matters.
Victory doesn’t rely on brute force, but on the ability to read ahead and control the flow of the game.

⚡ Flow & tempo

The ball auto-advances every turn: constant pressure, quick decisions, evolving tempo.

🧭 Roles & synergies

Each piece has a purpose. Team synergies shape offense, defense, and transitions.
