What this is
In The Oracle of Delphi, players navigate the Aegean as they race to complete 12 quests to impress Zeus. In order to execute these color-dependent actions, they are given three colored dice each turn, the so-called "oracle dice". In Stefan Feld's new game The Oracle of Delphi, the player's ships travel across a large variable game board of hexagonal tiles showing islands and the surrounding waters.
