Five players.

Maneuvering to capture Athens.

A selection largely from my phone so the quality is not great at present, again this will hopefully improve!

One of the figures from the manual - uploaded separately due to its large size. It corresponds to Figure 3 in the uploaded manual.

This is the current rulebook, though it is quite out of date and very rough. I used for the text Lyx (https://www.lyx.org/ and Inkscape for the figures (https://inkscape.org/en/). I have uploaded it in MS word format so the formatting is not great, I will try to address this in future.

A place where I will keep details of gameplay and update the rulebook.

Updates about the project are posted here - please feel free to leave comments, questions or suggestions.

Master of Olympus is a board game which, if all goes well, I will self-publish in 2018. Players take on the role of Greek Gods and use heroes, armies and creatures to collect artefacts and conquer cities. The ancient world is represented by a hexagonal grid, and all players take their turns simultaneously as they fight to control strategic areas.

Master of Olympus was inspired by films about the Greek myths, which often include scenes where the Gods are sitting on Mount Olympus and watching the story unfold. The Gods see the story and its characters as a board game.

Interesting read, thanks Daniel. I like your comparison to learning a language, including the fact that you had to learn from your mistakes. I've had similar experiences making board games, and as a result I've picked up a lot of skills, such as using graphic design software, I wouldn't otherwise have touched. Have you found the skills you have picked up through your work on Innkeep to be transferable?
