Odissea Mythica

Under the eyes of the Gods, he will meet men, women, prophets, monsters, witches, nymphs and cyclopes. Some will help, some will hinder. His journey will be mythical.

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

There are three decks in the Odissea series: Odissea Minerva, Odissea Neptune and Odissea Mythica Limited Edition.  Everything will be completely different for each deck. Tuck boxes, back and cards.

Minerva is the first Odissea deck. It’s dedicated to all the characters who helped Ulysses in his Odyssey.

Odissea Neptune is the second Odissea deck. It’s dedicated to the enemies of Ulysses.

Mythica is the limited edition and include all the characters in one deck.

Odissea Mythica it’s suggested for mature audiences, includes some soft nudity (censored in the cards preview).

This deck is a Thirdway Industries Exclusive: after this campaign it will be sold exclusivelyon www.thirdwayindustries.com.

Retail price after campaign will be around $50.

Pearlescent effect on faces

With Odissea Mythica, I will be testing a special feature I have been thinking about for a long time: covering the white background of the cards with a small percentage of gold Pantone metallic ink. I’ve never tried this before, so it’s a fairly unpredictable effect – in the worst case, the card background will be just slightly darker, in the best case it will be darker but pearlescent (shiny).
