Description

Odysseus, after having been gone for nearly 20 years, appears to be lost. Penelope, his long-suffering wife, is now having to financially support her many suitors who have recently convinced her they should compete in a variety of trials for her hand. Seeing this as her opportunity to vanquish their useless souls from this mortal coil, she gives them increasingly difficult tasks, unaware that one of them might actually succeed. Players will take turns rolling dice to match challenge dice. The player who ends up matching the final die collects the number of Penelope Rose dice, but be careful because players unable to meet the challenge will have to roll to defend from the rose thorns! Progress continues until either only one suitor is left or all challenges are met and whoever has the most Rose dice in their health stack is the winner. —description from the publisher
