These are just some of the many genuine comments we have received from people that have played Global Ody-see. They have been de-identified to protect the privacy of the correspondents.
I am happy to say I finally got to play a few games of "Global Ody-see" and was quite impressed.
I did not win, but had lots of fun.
I decided to try the game with the gaming group I normally play with and was quite happy with
the reactions. Picture 6 adult males who normally play wargames, Settlers of Cataan, Dungeons
and Dragons and the like, sitting around playing. When I pictured bringing in the game to sell, I
assumed most sales would go to families and schools. To my surprise our hard core gamers had
a great time and asked to play it again when we meet next week. My wife has also tried the game
with some of her adult female friends (mostly the wife's of the gentlemen I game with), and they
have suggested playing it when a bunch of the couples get together next time instead of the
standard Triva games, etc. Overall, all comments were favourable and we are going to do a store
demo in the next couple of weeks.
Everyone thought the production values were great, the cost quite
reasonable and it was fun to play.
We all had a wonderful time playing Ody-See. As an avid fan of games, as well as an educator, after spending an evening enjoying Ody-See, I was quickly shown Ody-See's value. Not only is it educational, it offers great game play, and hours of entertainment. Of all the educational games I have played, this one offered players a fun and unique experience. Everyone playing during the "Play with a creator night" at GAMA seemed to share this sentiment. Based on my experience there, as well as conversations with my colleagues upon my return, I am convinced of Ody-See's value and potential. That being said, I would like to see Ody-See available here in the United States.
Initial impressions are
positive - good quality product, good concept, children had no problem
with
concept of rolling dice, moving markers etc. When I left to travel on
Sunday PM I had both kids
independently ask me if they could play with 'daddy's game' whilst I was
away - this is interesting as
it is not something they have done before. Wife thinks the info on the
cards is very good.
Reported used with success with two classes today -they want to play again tomorrow. .
