About the Game

The dead it is said were buried with an obolos, placed in their mouths, so that once a dead person's shade reached the underworld of Hades, it would be able to pay Charon (the ferryman) for passage across the river Acheron. Legend has it that those without enough wealth, or whose friends refused to follow proper burial rites, were forced to wander the banks of the Acheron for all eternity...

2 player, blind bidding, trick taking game in which players are bidding for passage to the underworld.
