Announcing Journey From Troy: Odysseus
Guide Odysseus home, through treacherous seas and trials fated by the gods, to reclaim Ithaca!
Join us as we embark on Exekias Games’ next adventure - an epic co-operative board game based on the story of The Odyssey.
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 one of the world’s oldest surviving works of literature. Escape monsters, defeat suitors, and encounter epic challenges, as you race against the timer of Penelope’s loom.
