Spice Odyssey is a captivating board game that explores the historical spice trade between India and the UK during British rule. Inspired by the book “Curry: A Tale for Cooks and Conquerors,” the game immerses players in the vibrant world of Indian spices. Players navigate through key ports—Malabar, Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta—trading spices and making their way to London. The game’s visuals, created using a tricolor approach with red, blue, and yellow, draw inspiration from matchbox illustrations and employ Resograph brushes for a unique aesthetic. Spice Odyssey combines historical context with strategic gameplay, offering an engaging and educational experience.
