Odissea Minerva

Description

No man can challenge a God and survive, Ulysses. Not on his own. But I will help you. Don’t think it will be easy – Neptune is more powerful than I am, but we’ll do what we do best. We’ll use our intellect. 

Odissea is a new series of playing cards by Thirdway Industries, designed by the Italian designer Giovanni Meroni, inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
