Par Odin is a board game released in 2018 for 1 player, 5–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Antonin Boccara and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
Legend has it that one day a human will come to the kingdom of Ásgard and play alongside the gods ... Will you be this hero? In Par Odin, you play as a human warrior come to perform 50 challenges to sit at the table of the gods. In this solo, narrative and evolving game, you will gradually discover the mechanical richness of the game and the world of Nordic mythology. Each challenge is consisting of split the designated dices (among 9 values in total) in 2 equal parts in term of values. For example a Fighter worth 1 point, so with 4 Fighters, you have to put 2 Fighters for each side. Some dices reduced, doubles or cancel other dices.
Par Odin supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Par Odin is 5–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Par Odin for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Par Odin has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
