Pack your bags, mortal: Zeus is in a good mood which almost never happens (and that’s why it took so long to get this game on BGA). He's offering you a free ticket to Olympus. The catch? You've got to pull off 12 demigod-tier tasks first: raise statues, build shrines, make offerings, and smash some monsters, while your only GPS is a slightly spacey priestess sitting in a temple. Welcome to The Oracle of Delphi, where the Odyssey is one deliciously vicious dice game.
Here's the twist: you don't roll your 3 Oracle Dice hoping for a miracle. You roll them to find out what you'll even be allowed to do next turn. Each color unlocks a different move, sail your ship, fight a monster, load a statue, and you've got to build your plan like a captain who refuses to admit he's lost. Rolled the wrong color? Recolor the die with Favor Tokens, beg the Gods camped at the top of your board, or eat the loss and wait for the next roll.
And while you're zigzagging between islands hunting down hidden tiles, a cranky Titan is lurking at the end of every turn, ready to hand out Injury Cards like stale candy to anyone without enough shield. It all flows, chains together, and rewards planning in a race with tension pulled tight as a bowstring.
Every die is a tiny promise, every turn a gamble, and every triumphant return to Zeus a victory earned in the sweat of your imaginary crew. So, ready to consult the Oracle and find out if the stars (or, well, the dice) are finally on your side?

Thanks to Stefan Feld, the mastermind who decided mortals needed 12 impossible tasks and a moody priestess to survive them, and to Hall Games for letting us drag this Olympic fever dream onto the platform. And a shoutout to gzed for wrestling Zeus's oracle dice into digital form.
This was your Monday release.
Cast off. Delphi's waiting, and she hates being kept waiting. Take care and play fair…
德爾斐神諭:海克力斯大概第三回合就不玩了
收拾行李吧,凡人:宙斯今天心情大好,這可是難得一見(這也是為什麼這款遊戲花這麼久才登上BGA的原因)。他準備送你一張前往奧林帕斯山的免費機票,至於附帶條件?你必須先完成12項半神級別的考驗:豎立神像、建立神殿、獻上祭品,順便暴打幾隻怪物——而你唯一的GPS導航,只有一位坐在神殿裡、神智有點恍惚的女祭司。歡迎來到《德爾斐神諭》,在這裡,這趟奧德賽之旅將化身為一場極具張力、精采互掐的絕妙骰子遊戲。
巧妙的轉折來了:你擲出3顆神諭骰,可不是為了祈禱奇蹟降臨;而是為了找出下一回合你到底能做什麼。每一種顏色都會解鎖不同的行動——開船航行、迎戰怪物、搬運神像;你必須像個死不承認自己迷路的船長一樣,精心構築你的行動藍圖。擲出錯誤的顏色了嗎?沒關係,消耗恩賜指示物為骰子變色、向供奉在個人版圖頂端的神祇祈求,或者吞下損失,靜靜等待下一次擲骰。
當你在群島之間穿梭蛇行、尋找隱藏的板塊時,一隻脾氣暴躁的泰坦正潛伏在每個回合的盡頭,隨時準備把傷害卡像發過期糖果一樣,發給所有護盾不足的玩家。遊戲的所有要素流暢銜接、環環相扣,並在一場緊張感拉滿如滿弓般的競速賽中,給予深謀遠慮者最優渥的回報。
每一顆骰子都是一個微小的承諾,每一個回合都是一場豪賭,而每一次榮耀重返宙斯身旁,都是靠著你想像中的船員們揮灑汗水換來的勝利!那麼,準備好祈求神諭,看看幸運之星(嗯……或是說骰子)這次是否終於站在你這邊了嗎?

特別感謝Stefan Feld,正是這位幕後主腦認為凡人需要透過12項不可能的任務,以及一位脾氣陰晴不定的女祭司才能度過考驗;同時感謝Hall Games出版商授權讓我們能將這場奧林帕斯狂想曲搬上BGA平台。最後,也要向開發者gzed致敬,感謝他費盡心力將宙斯的神諭骰成功轉化為數位版本。
以上就是本週一發布的消息。
揚帆起航!德爾斐還在等著呢,而她最討厭的就是久等。請謹慎並公平競爭...
