About Olympia: Festival of the Gods
Olympia: Festival of the Gods is a digital board game where players collect tokens in order to perform rituals to honor the Gods of Ancient Greece! Players can compete against other players in local PVP, or against AI bots.Note: Olympia: Festival of the Gods does not support online multiplayer at this time. This feature may be added in a future update.
HOW TO PLAY
The game is composed of 6 rounds. Each round honors a different Greek God or Goddess.Each round is broken up into two phases: collecting, and scoring.During the Collecting phase, players compete to collect their desired tokens. Players collect all of the tokens of the same color from either columns or the table. Tokens belonging to the God or Goddess that is being honored that round are "wild" allowing one additional token to be collected with any other tokens. But watch out for the Hades token at the table center -- collecting Hades will cost players valuable points!During the Scoring phase, players use their tokens on ritual spaces at a God or Goddess's altar. Each ritual has a cost - the player must spend tokens of the designated color (or the wild color) to complete the ritual. Completing all of the rituals of a particular God or Goddess rewards the player with bonus points!What Steam players say

If you think that's an unfair comparison, don't blame me, it's a level playing field where the giants rule gamers attention... for good reason. I guess what I mean to say is while this obviously failed just because it compares so badly to the competition, maybe it would have done better as a browser game or on mobile app stores. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being r…
