Introduction
Can you manage to empty your hand as quickly as possible and collect as few penalty points as possible, in the little card game Odin
Let’s get it on the table
In Odin, you want to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible. This sounds simple, but of course it is not. Each player starts with 9 cards in hand. The first player puts a card or set on the table, the players after that must either play a set with the same number of cards or more but also with a higher value than there is on the table. If you don’t have the right cards, then unfortunately you have to pass.
If you did play a set, you have to take 1 card from the previous set back into your hand.
The round ends as soon as one of the players has played all his or her cards, or when everyone has passed. After this we count the points, each remaining card is a penalty point. The game ends once a player has 15 penalty points and the player with the fewest penalty points is the winner 🏆
Odin is quick to learn and accessible to all, and its small box size also makes it a game you can easily take anywhere. The combinations of the simple rules, the fun challenge during the game but also the occasional deliciously mean game make this a fun game for in between. Odin has nice artwork, but it has nothing to do with this game but we think it’s better with this one then just with the numbers.
