Manufacturer Description

+

Is there life in outer space or not? Baseball or basketball? To be or to have? Chicken or beef? The real speaker knows how to charm the audience with the greatest dilemma, predicting the opinions thanks to a supernatural intuition... or a more practical cheating technique!

In Ostrakon, you take the role of a Greek philosopher, posing questions on assigned topics with only 2 answers. The other players decide which of the two answers suits them, and the philosopher secretly votes with the side he thinks will outnumber the other. If he is correct, he scores points equal to the number of players who voted against his choice. If he is incorrect, he scores nothing. So its best to pick questions with roughly equally viable answers.

About Mayfair Games

+

Mayfair Games was an American publisher of board, card, and roleplaying games founded in 1981 in Chicago, Illinois. Known for titles like Empire Builder and the Role Aids series, the company gained prominence by introducing Euro-style board games to English-speaking audiences, notably publishing The Settlers of Catan in 1996. Financial difficulties led to its closure in 1997, but it was revived under Ironwind, Inc., continuing to operate under the Mayfair Games trademark.

The company underwent a reorganization in the 2000s, focusing on successful titles like Catan, before transferring its rights to Asmodee’s Catan Studio in 2016. In 2018, Mayfair Games sold its remaining assets to Asmodee North America and shut down. It is remembered for its influential role in bringing popular games like Agricola, 1830, and Patchwork to a broader audience.
