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:戰爭已經結束,但旅程才剛要開始
特洛伊戰爭終於結束了。該是時候收拾行囊返鄉,享受一段得來不易的悠閒假期了。聽起來挺簡單的,對吧?
好吧,如果你是奧德修斯這個麻煩吸引機的話,事情可就沒那麼簡單了。這趟返回伊薩卡的回家之路,又硬生生花了他整整十年。一路上,有著酷愛起司的獨眼巨人、意圖不軌的賽蓮女妖、一位法力強大的女巫、極度缺乏個人空間概念的怪物們,以及一群顯然除了毀掉他的一天之外、完全沒其他事好做的眾神。
在《Odysseus》中,你將幫助這位傳奇英雄克服重重險阻,完成橫渡地中海的史詩之旅。你的任務是? 提升技能,克服重重考驗,收集傳說,將一段艱辛的旅程變成一段傳奇冒險。力量、智慧、計謀、運氣。你需要精通這四項技能,才能讓奧德修斯擁有一線生氣。
輪到你時,選擇一張試煉卡,決定是踏上冒險之旅還是好好休息。冒險可以幫助你提升技能,收集試煉卡,而休息則可以讓你有機會強化一項你選擇的技能,並獲得雅典娜的恩惠。
在遊戲結束時,你只能獲得那些你已成功克服之試煉的分數。因此,你是要持續強化自己的優勢、補足劣勢,還是要在現有的卡牌中豪賭一把?每一個抉擇都至關重要,而今天看似絕妙的計畫,到了明天可能就派不上用場。
千萬別低估雅典娜的恩惠。智慧女神的一點幫助,就能讓你把一個好的計畫變成一個偉大的計畫。
準備好揚帆起航了嗎?開始遊戲前請務必做好準備,幫助奧德修斯找到回家的路。不過,別指望波賽頓會讓他輕鬆過關。他可是要維護自己的名聲的。

以上就是本週一發布的消息。
別被賽蓮甜美的歌聲給誘惑了。請謹慎並公平競爭…
