Odyssey

Odyssey

2025·Geonil

3 - 4 players
15 - 30 min
Light weight: Learn it in minutes

From BoardGameGeek

Odyssey sends players on a perilous journey across the Mediterranean as soldiers trying to return home after the Trojan War. Guided (and often hindered) by the whims of the gods, players must earn offerings and navigate divine favor carefully. Too much pride or neglecting rituals risks invoking the gods' wrath, delaying the voyage back to Ithaca. Odyssey is a trick-taking game where players can play not only from their hand but also from a shared field of cards. Winning exactly the right number of tricks allows players to advance their ship along the board, with progress tied to the offerings they've gathered. Strategic timing, risk management, and the gods' unpredictable influence shape a tense race to be the first to return home.
