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.

Odiseo: A guerra rematou, pero a viaxe só acabou de comezar
Rematou a Guerra de Troia. É hora de ir para casa e desfrutar dun merecido descanso. Bastante sinxelo, non si?
Ben, non se es Odiseo, o imán dos problemas. A viaxe de volta a casa a Ítaca leva outros dez anos. Polo camiño, hai un cíclope cun problema co queixo, sereas con intencións cuestionables, unha poderosa feiticeira, monstros que realmente necesitan descubrir o seu espazo persoal e deuses que aparentemente non teñen nada mellor que facer que arruinarlle o día.
En Odiseo, axudarás ao lendario heroe a sortear os perigos da súa épica viaxe polo Mediterráneo. A túa misión? Desenvolve as túas habilidades, supera as probas, recolle contos e converte unha viaxe moi dura nunha aventura lendaria. Forza, intelixencia, astucia, sorte. Terás que dominar as catro para darlle a Odiseo unha oportunidade de loitar.
Na túa quenda, escolle unha carta de Proba e decide se embarcarte nunha aventura ou tomarte un merecido descanso. As aventuras axúdanche a desenvolver as túas habilidades e a construír a túa colección de probas, mentres que o descanso che dá a oportunidade de fortalecer unha habilidade da túa elección e obter o Favor de Atenea.
Ao final do xogo, só obtés os puntos das probas que superaches con éxito. Entón, reforzas os teus puntos fortes, reforzas os teus puntos débiles ou apostas coas cartas dispoñibles? Cada decisión importa, e o mellor plan de hoxe pode non sobrevivir mañá.
E non subestimes o favor de Atenea. Un pouco de axuda da deusa da sabedoría pode ser xusto o que necesitas para converter un plan decente nun gran plan.
Preparado para zarpar? Asegúrate de facelo antes de comezar axudando a Odiseo a atopar o camiño de volta á casa. Pero non esperes que Poseidón cho poña fácil. Ten unha reputación que manter.
