Oceanos

underwater Expedition

You explore the depths of the ocean in three rounds of five turns, collect animal species and treasures, discover coral reefs and upgrade your submarine.

Players take turns to be Captain of the Expedition; he gives each player the number of cards equal to the number of periscopes on his submarine plus one. Then each player chooses a card face-down and returns the rest to the captain. Then all reveal their card and add it to their display, from left to right into the row of the current round. Then the Captain fills up his hand, if necessary, to the number he is entitled to from his periscopes, chooses a card, adds it to his display and discards the remaining cards. Options for additional actions during such a turn are: Discard one of your fuel tokens for keeping an additional card, or place a scuba diver token for collecting treasures at the end of the game or upgrade your submarine by using crystals depicted on cards in your display.

After five such rounds you can upgrade your submarine once more with crystals not yet used, take back your Fuel tokens and then you score the rounds for animals and propeller levels of your submarine. You lose points if you have most Kraken Eyes on your cards. At the end of the game you score your greatest Coral Reef, that is, the corals on adjacent cards, and your treasures collected with your divers.

A card drafting game for the family, with breathtaking components, a nice topic and uncomplicated rules! An attractive family game offering enough decisions on collecting and submarine upgrades as well as a degree of chance exactly right for a nice gaming experience.
