After the Trojan War, Odysseus and his men set sail for their homeland. However, they incurred the wrath of Poseidon and wandered the Mediterranean for over a decade. In this game, players take on the roles of Odysseus’ returning soldiers, striving 1o reach Ithaca. However, beware-excessive hubris or inadequate offerings may provoke the gods’ fury.
Odyssey is a trick-taking game for 3 or 4 players. Players must win an exact number of tricks to make progress on their voyage. The number of different types of offerings they collect determines how far they advance. The first player to reach their homeland wins the game .
WARNING : Please be aware that the black backs of the Odyssey cards are are highly prone to marking. The publisher is aware of this issue and will soon be offering custom card sleeves which will be included at no additional cost with all new orders.
We strongly recommend waiting until these sleeves are available before placing your order so you can receive both the game and the sleeves together.
If you choose to order the game sooner, we highly recommend sleeving the cards yourself upon arrival to protect them. In that case, the official sleeves can still be added to one of your future orders but they will not be shipped separately free of charge.
