Odyssey: Wrath of Poseidon

Players take asymmetric roles: one player controls the sea as an unseen deity, while the others act as navigators trying to reach a distant sacred island. Play uses duplicate hidden boards separated by the box so only the sea player knows the true positions of the ships. The sea player generates storms and moves ships on their private board to mislead and scatter the navigators. The navigator team gathers limited clues, records tentative positions on their shared board, and attempts to reconcile evidence with mounting uncertainty. Navigators win by reaching the island before time runs out; the sea player wins by keeping them off course and preventing their arrival.

    un juego de deducción de Leo Colovini, es como un Mastermind pero con movimientos. Los jugadores representamos a los guerreros que vuelven de Troya, pero Poseidón no lo pone fácil. Un jugador hace de Poseidón y obstaculiza mediante movimientos secretos a los jugadores, que deben acercar sus navíos a la isla del centro para poder ganar con las referencias que les da el jugador Poseidón. Un juego curioso y un quema cerebros, altas dosis de concentración son necesarias en este juego cooperativo. Lo peor son las risas del jugador Poseidón, a veces parece que solo él es el que se divierte.
