About the game

What is Odin

In Odin, you want to empty your hand as quickly as possible, sending all your Vikings out into the world.

The game lasts several hands, with each hand consisting of one or more rounds. The deck contains cards in six suits, each numbered 1-9, and each player starts with a hand of nine cards.

The lead player for the hand lays a single card on the table. The next player either passes (but can play on a future turn) or plays the same number of cards (or one more than that number) with a higher value. When you play two or more cards, the cards must be the same number or color, and the value of these cards is created by placing their digits in order from high to low. For example, if you play a blue 3 and blue 6, their value is 63, not 36. When you play and are not the lead, you must take one of the cards from the previous play into your hand, then discard the rest.

Play continues around the table until either a player is out of cards, which ends the round immediately, or all players have passed in succession. In the latter case, discard the cards last played; whoever played these cards lays a single card to start a new round. Alternatively, if the lead player has cards in hand of a single suit or number, they play all of these cards at once to end the hand. When a hand ends, each player scores 1 point for each card they still hold.

Esp) Correcto juego de cartas con mecánicas extremadamente simples pero con un componente de toma de decisiones bastante interesante. El mismo se materializa al tener que agarrar una de las cartas de la mesa luego de jugar un número determinado. Esto le da un aspecto estratégico a la partida que hace que el juego cumpla con lo que se propone.
