Odyssey of the Giant is a solo tabletop RPG, which means it's played alone - without a Game Master or other people. In Odyssey you'll use a set of dice ranging from d4, d6, d10, d12 to d20. You'll need a piece of paper, a pen/pencil, and some free time - that's it.
Here's the simplified setup for the game:
Create your Caretaker; give them a name, characteristics, motivation
Crate a giant you'll escort; choose from 4 different races, and roll the dice for their characteristics. skills and traits,
Discover the world, hex by hex, exploring the unknown, meeting people - both hostile and friendly, navigating dangerous situations, and making difficult choices that will affect your giant and your relationship with them
Set a camp at night, sum up the day, level up your giant, and prepare for the road ahead
Engage in side quests, but never lose the main goal from your sight
