DIVE! DIVER! DIE!

Dive for treasures with dice

Players are divers diving for treasure, in this game gold and – in case you choose the more difficult version – also for the Jewel of Zakarra. Each player starts the game with a marker, depth marker, a set of card and duration markers.  You play four diving expeditions. Aim of the game is to survive each of those dives and to find gold. Each diving expedition is prepared: You draw an event card, choose one of your cards for the oxygen supply and one card for the maximum duration of the dive, the starting player rolls two 10-sided dice for the amount of gold that can be found. Then each player chooses the depth he wants to dive to, an oxygenator card is turned up and the oxygen supply is adjusted. In the diving phase you descent one level in each turn, roll the oxygen-dice and adjust the oxygen supply accordingly. When you reach your chosen depth you scavenge at least one time and up to the maximum duration you have chosen – if you scavenge shorter the oxygen supply is adjusted accordingly. When you are done with scavenging for the dive you rise one level per turn until you reach the surface. If you run out of oxygen you go back to the boat without any loot. If you are the only one to finish a dive successfully you earn a bonus of 20 gold. Event cards can be played any time during the dive.

Dive! Diver! Die! describes itself with this title, Die! Is the dice and not dying, the oxygen die determines the game and you must always carefully balance the with to dive deeper for more gold and risking lack of oxygen or go for safety and less gold? A rather well-done simulation of diving for treasures!
