I’m glad the balance of historical/anachronistic worked for you! It was important for me to make sure it worked both for people who know their stuff (always nice to meet another history buff btw!) and those who don’t know anything about Homer or Ancient Greece. And thank you for your suggestion about the opening sequence, I will look into ways to make it get into the action a bit quicker! 

Yes, I do want to expand the game with more elements down the road! Especially with all the wonderful feedback I’ve been getting from the jam, there are so many new ideas forming for what the game could become 😀

I really think this could one day be something great (it already IS within its scope!). I might have missed this but it might be good to also have some influence over the shape of the story (which card is played when) and maybe even have additional cards that can be discarded. I think for a full release the system needs to be a little more involved but I see a very bright future for this. Let's say you have already convinced at least ONE person who studied this stuff (ancient history and archaeology)!

Thank you so much! 🥹 I think being able to rearrange story cards would be really engaging! And it would work for the theme, since the Odyssey is often told in flashbacks and cutaways anyway. 
I also originally wanted to include story cards of moments that weren’t actually in the Odyssey as it exists today, but would represent things that ended up on Homer’s ‘cutting room floor,’ or maybe were in the poem during his era but became lost to time because archeologists never found the manuscripts. If cards could actually be cut out of the poem, that would make it even better! And conceptually it would be funny too, if you could go the other direction and cut what later became iconic scenes out of the Odyssey, just to please the drunken rowdy crowd at Cafe Xenia 😂

Love those suggestions, thank you!
