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.

オデュッセウス：戦争は終わったが、旅はまだ始まったばかりだ
トロイア戦争は終わった。さあ、家に帰って、当然の休息を楽しもう。簡単だろう？
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.
『オデュッセウス』では、伝説の英雄オデュッセウスが地中海を横断する壮大な旅の危険を乗り越えるのを手助けします。あなたの使命は？スキルを磨き、試練を乗り越え、物語を集め、過酷な旅を伝説的な冒険に変えること。力、知性、狡猾さ、そして幸運。オデュッセウスに勝利のチャンスを与えるには、この4つすべてをマスターする必要があります。
自分のターンになったら、試練カードを1枚選び、冒険に出発するか、休息を取るかを決めましょう。冒険はスキルを磨き、試練のコレクションを増やすのに役立ちます。一方、休息を取ると、選択したスキルを強化し、アテナの恩恵を得るチャンスが得られます。
ゲームの最後には、あなたが成功裏にクリアした試練から得たポイントのみが獲得できます。さて、あなたは自分の強みを伸ばすのか、弱みを克服するのか、それとも手持ちのカードで勝負に出るのでしょうか？すべての選択が重要であり、今日最善の計画が明日も通用するとは限りません。
そして、アテナの恩恵を侮ってはいけません。知恵の女神からのちょっとした助けがあれば、平凡な計画を素晴らしい計画に変えることができるでしょう。
出航の準備はできましたか？ オデュッセウスが故郷へ帰るのを手伝う前に、必ず準備を済ませてください。ただし、ポセイドンが簡単に手助けしてくれるとは思わないでください。彼には守るべき評判があるのですから。
