Viewing post in Ithake - In the hands of Fate jam comments

I don't have much to say beyond what you have already heard from the other reviewers. I do want to say I like games with glue in, though, there's something very satisfying about the physical building of the map. Are there enough strips for everyone, though? how many copies would we need to print off for sufficient routes?

The Odyssey references scattered through make me happy (and make me feel clever for spotting them). It's interesting that there are several wanderers, and I like that you have the possibility of discovering traces of each others' wanderings when someone dies. Is there a mechanic for saying hello if routes connect?

I like the picture, too. Thank you for the game!

Thanks! Yeah, I think part of the fun is about making the map. For playing, one should print one routes a4 for each player (but only one Ithake), so you have 7 routes and islands each.

There is not a mechanics to say hello because the Odissey journey is a solitary one, but you can drink together at Ithake! Even because before the end of the game, you can't predict where your routes went, because you only know where it ends, not where it starts. At least, if you don't have to say goodbye forever.

Thank you, and have a good day!
