A tour through the Hasbro stand learns that we Europeans live in the Stone Age: everything can be done faster and more shallow: occasionally three games were 'explained' in just one minute! And all guides talked jumbled; it was hard to destill any information from the resulting pandemonium. There was no escape, the whole tour had to be taken, even if we only were interested in one game: Deukalion - oh, and there were contradictions about taking pictures also. Hasbro and friendly? Inside the well guarded American based fortress the atmosphere was rather hostile, unfortunately...

Players strive for victory points; whoever first has collected the preset amount has won. Points are awarded for warriors at settlements, victory point cards and completed mission cards.
Victory point cards may be taken for successful battles against Hydra, having the majority in the underworld, or after having brought a treasure to Athens.

In a turn, a player first throws the dice in a special formed cup that he places on the Kylix position on the board. All other players may sail in any direction up to the maximum value of the die in the center of the Kylix cup.
The position of the other dice in the cup indicate the possibilities of the other actions in a turn.

Opposing ships can be attacked, the outcome is determined by throwing the warriors; those who land on their backside are placed in the underworld. Attacking a city, settlement or the Hydra goes likewise.
