Voyage Home: An Odyssey

Players command ships sailing home from Troy to Ithaca after the Trojan War, completing six quests while managing crew, supplies, and gold. Each player also takes a role as the gods, drawing and playing Blessing, Curse, and effect cards that can aid their own voyage or hinder other ships. The game unfolds in two acts. During each turn, players draw cards, secretly choose and resolve their plays, roll for movement or upgrade their ship, and complete cleanup actions. Once the available turn cards are exhausted, Act II begins as a sudden-death finale. Ships that have not completed all six quests by then are lost at sea; among those who return to Ithaca, crew size and then gold determine the winner.
