In Ora et Labora, each player is the head of a monastery in the medieval era, acquiring land and constructing buildings – small enterprises that produce resources and profit. The goal is to build a functioning infrastructure and produce prestigious items – such as books, pottery, ornaments, and relics – to accumulate the most victory points at the end of the game.
Ora et Labora, Uwe Rosenberg's fifth "big" game, features gameplay mechanisms similar to his Le Havre, such as double-sided resource tokens that can be upgraded from a basic good to something more useful. Instead of adding resources to the board turn by turn as in Agricola and Le Havre, Ora et Labora uses a numbered rondel to show how many of each resource are available at any given time. At the beginning of each round, players turn the rondel one segment, thereby adjusting the number of all resources simultaneously.
Each player has a personal game board. New buildings enter play from time to time, and players can construct them on their game boards using the building materials they collect, with certain terrain restrictions on what can be built where. Some spaces start with trees or bogs on them, as in Agricola: Farmers of the Moor, so they hinder development until a player clears the land, but they provide resources when removed. Smart building on your personal game board affects your final score, and players can buy additional terrain during the game, if needed.
Players also have three workers who can enter buildings to perform the action associated with that location. Workers must remain until you have placed all three. You can use your own buildings with these workers, but to enter and use another player's buildings, you must pay that player an entrance fee so that they move one of their workers to that building to perform the work for you.
Ora et Labora includes two variants: France and Ireland.
