Description

Get ready to travel back in time to ancient Greece with Olympia 2000 (v. Chr.), a thrilling board game designed by Stefan Dorra. In this quick and simple game, 2 to 5 players compete in various Olympic events, such as long-jump, discus, and archery, using simultaneously played cards. Each card features an athlete with unique skills and abilities, making for some hilarious and unexpected outcomes. You might have an athlete who's a superstar in one event, but utterly hopeless in another, or perhaps one who's just plain terrible at everything. The key to winning is using your cards wisely, as the best athlete wins the current event, but the worst athlete gets to choose the next one. This clever mechanic adds a layer of strategy and unpredictability to the game, making it a blast to play with friends and family. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Olympia 2000 (v. Chr.) is the perfect game for a fun and casual game night. First published in 1994, this classic game has stood the test of time, and its simple rules make it easy to learn and jump into. So gather your friends, get your game face on, and get ready to compete in the ancient Olympics like never before.
