En bref · fiche BoardGameGeek traduite
Guidez Ulysse jusqu'à son foyer, à travers des mers traîtresses et des épreuves décidées par les dieux, pour qu'il reprenne possession d'Ithaque ! Dans « Journey From Troy », les joueurs doivent coopérer pour ramener Ulysse sain et sauf chez lui après la guerre de Troie et lui permettre de reprendre son palais, tout en suivant l'histoire de l'une des plus anciennes œuvres littéraires qui nous soient parvenues. Grâce à un plateau double face comportant des sections pivotantes, les joueurs doivent éviter ou vaincre des monstres tout en essayant de retourner chaque section du plateau à l’aide de combinaisons de ressources, afin de révéler Ithaque. Une fois de retour à Ithaque, les joueurs doivent aligner les sections du plateau pour permettre à Ulysse de tirer avec son arc à travers les douze haches, de vaincre tous les prétendants qui se sont emparés de son palais et de s’assurer qu’aucun d’entre eux n’atteigne Pénélope. Tous ces défis doivent être relevés avant que Pénélope n’ait fini de tisser sur le chronomètre représentant le métier à tisser. —description fournie par l’éditeur
Présentation de la campagne
Travel through treacherous seas and trials fated by the gods, to guide Odysseus home to reclaim Ithaca!
In Journey From Troy, players must work together to get Odysseus safely home after the Trojan War and take back his palace, as they follow the story of one of the oldest surviving works of literature.
O Muse, sing of a crafty man...
After 10 years at war in Troy, Odysseus longs to be home again, but the gods have other plans.
Guide Odysseus through a sea fraught with danger, avoiding and defeating monster, to see Ithaca once more. But back on Ithaca, things are not all well.
Thinking Odysseus dead, suitors have been hounding Odysseus' wife, Penelope, to marry again, and plotting the death of his son, Telemachus. All the while they feast in his palace, using up his fortune for themselves. Penelope avoided them as long as she could, claiming that she needed to weave a funeral shroud of Odysseus' elderly father, Laertes, before she could remarry. Each day she wove, and each night she undid her work, until she was caught. Now, Odyesseus must return before the shroud is done.
Race through the treacherous seas to return to Odysseus' palace, reunite with Telemachus and Penelope, and take down the suitors.
Journey From Troy: Odysseus features a double sided board made of unique triangular pieces.
On side 1, players must avoid or defeat monsters while strategically using their resources to flip each section of the board to reveal Ithaca (Side 2).
On side 2, players must realign any rotated triangles, defeat 4 suitors, and make it to Laertes' hill without any suitors catching Penelope.
All this must happen before the loom timer runs out:
