The Trojan War is over. Time to go home and enjoy a well-deserved break. Simple enough, right?
Well, not if you're Odysseus, the trouble magnet. The journey home to Ithaca takes another ten years. Along the way, there's a Cyclops with a cheese issue, sirens with questionable intentions, a powerful sorceress, monsters who really need to discover personal space, and gods who apparently have nothing better to do than ruin his day.
In Odysseus, you'll help the legendary hero navigate the perils of his epic journey across the Mediterranean. Your mission? Develop your skills, overcome trials, collect Tales, and turn a very rough trip into a legendary adventure. Strength, Intelligence, Cunning, Luck. You'll need to master all four to give Odysseus a fighting chance.
On your turn, choose a Trial card and decide whether to embark on an adventure or take a well-earned rest. Adventures help you develop your skills and build your collection of trials, while resting gives you a chance to strengthen a skill of your choice and gain Athena's Favor.
At the end of the game, you only score the points from trials you've successfully overcome. So, do you build up your strengths, shore up your weaknesses, or take a gamble on the cards available? Every choice matters, and the best plan today might not survive tomorrow.
And don't underestimate Athena's Favor. A little help from the goddess of wisdom can be just what you need to turn a decent plan into a great one.
Ready to set sail? Make sure you do before you start helping Odysseus find his way home. Just don't expect Poseidon to make it easy. He's got a reputation to maintain.

Odysseus: Krigen er slut, men rejsen er kun lige begyndt
Den trojanske krig er slut. Tid til at tage hjem og nyde en velfortjent pause. Simpelt nok, ikke?
Ikke hvis du er Odysseus, problemmagneten. Rejsen hjem til Ithaca tager yderligere ti år. Undervejs er der en kyklop med et osteproblem, sirener med tvivlsomme intentioner, en magtfuld troldkvinde, monstre, der virkelig har brug for at finde sin personlige plads, og guder, der tilsyneladende ikke har noget bedre at lave end at ødelægge hans dag.
I Odysseus hjælper du den legendariske helt med at navigere gennem farerne på sin episke rejse over Middelhavet. Din mission? Udvikl dine færdigheder, overvind prøvelser, saml fortællinger og forvandl en meget barsk rejse til et legendarisk eventyr. Styrke, Intelligens, List, Held. Du skal mestre alle fire for at give Odysseus en chance.
On your turn, choose a Trial card and decide whether to embark on an adventure or take a well-earned rest. Adventures help you develop your skills and build your collection of trials, while resting gives you a chance to strengthen a skill of your choice and gain Athena's Favor.
I slutningen af spillet scorer du kun point fra de prøvelser, du har overvundet. Så skal du opbygge dine styrker, styrke dine svagheder, eller satse på de tilgængelige kort? Hvert valg tæller, og den bedste plan i dag overlever måske ikke i morgen.
Og undervurder ikke Athenas gunst. Lidt hjælp fra visdommens gudinde kan være lige, hvad du behøver for at forvandle en god plan til en fantastisk en.
Klar til at sætte sejl? Sørg for at gøre det, inden du starter og hjælper Odysseus med at finde vej hjem. Bare forvent ikke, at Poseidon gør det nemt. Han har et ry at opretholde.
