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:战争结束了,但旅程才刚刚开始
特洛伊战争结束了。是时候回家,好好享受这来之不易的假期了。很简单,对吧?
好吧,如果你是那个麻烦不断的 奥德修斯,那就另当别论了。他回家伊萨卡的旅程又花了整整十年。途中,他遇到了一个对奶酪有执念的独眼巨人,一群意图可疑的塞壬女妖,一位强大的女巫,一些急需学会保持个人空间的怪物,还有那些显然闲得无聊、专爱破坏他心情的众神。
在《奥德修斯》中,你将帮助这位传奇英雄克服重重险阻,完成横渡地中海的史诗之旅。你的任务是什么?提升技能,克服重重考验,收集传说,将一段艰辛的旅程变成一段传奇冒险。力量、智慧、计谋、运气。你需要精通这四项技能,才能让奥德修斯拥有一线生机。
轮到你的回合时,选择一张试炼卡,决定是踏上冒险之旅还是好好休息。冒险可以帮助你提升技能,收集试炼卡,而休息则可以让你有机会强化一项你选择的技能,并获得雅典娜的恩惠。
游戏结束时,你只能计算成功通过的试炼所获得的分数。那么,你是要强化自己的优势、弥补弱点,还是冒险尝试手头的卡片?每一个选择都至关重要,今天最好的计划也许明天就无法坚持下去。
而且,别低估雅典娜的恩惠。智慧女神的一点帮助,或许正是将一个不错的计划变成绝佳方案的关键所在。
准备好扬帆起航了吗? 【开始游戏前请务必做好准备】(https://boardgamearena.com/tutorial?game=odysseus) ,帮助奥德修斯找到回家的路。不过,别指望波塞冬会让他轻松过关。他可是要不可动摇地维护自己的名声。
