The Oracle of Delphi

Ever wondered what happens when Zeus is actually in a good mood? Well, the King of the Gods has decided to invite a worthy mortal to his realm in Olympus. But he's not just handing out tickets; he's hosting a legendary competition to find the best candidate. You are a fearless captain sailing the treacherous waters of the Aegean Sea, retracing the steps of Odysseus to complete twelve epic tasks.

Designed by the renowned Stefan Feld, the game features a modular board of hexagonal tiles, meaning the map changes every time you play, keeping the experience fresh. Your goal is to reach specific islands to build graceful statues, raise awe-inspiring sanctuaries, make offerings, or slay fearsome monsters. The twist? Your actions are guided by the Oracle of Delphi. In game terms, this means rolling three colored 'oracle dice' at the start of your turn. These results dictate which actions you can perform, though you'll always have three actions available. If the dice aren't in your favor, there are ways to slightly nudge your destiny in the right direction.

To outpace your rivals in this race to Olympus, you can seek divine support, acquire favor tokens, hire companions, and unlock special abilities. With differently equipped ships and a variable setup, every game demands new tactical and strategic decisions. You'll need to balance your movement across the grid with the results of your dice rolls to optimize your path. Will you be the first to master all twelve assignments and earn the favor of the father of the gods, or will the challenges of the Aegean be too much? Gather your crew, consult the oracle, and set sail for glory!
