About this game
Zeus has set a challenge: complete twelve tasks across the Aegean Sea before anyone else. The Oracle of Delphi is a Feld design that breaks his usual point-salad formula in favor of a race. Dice determine your available actions each round, but the oracle lets you manipulate them, turning bad rolls into clever plays. Deliver offerings, slay monsters, build shrines, and navigate the modular sea in a colorful Greek mythology adventure that rewards efficiency over accumulation.
