Deep Sea Adventure*

Deep Sea Adventure is a light and engaging board game that combines elements of press-your-luck and resource management. Players take on the roles of daring explorers, seeking treasures in undersea ruins. The twist? Everyone shares a single rented submarine and, crucially, a single tank of air. The game unfolds over three rounds, and the player who accumulates the most points by retrieving underwater relics is declared the winner.

Gameplay Overview

  • The game spans 3 rounds with

the goal of collecting the most points by bringing the most ruins chips back to the submarine.

  • Players can only return to the submarine once per round and can't advance further after returning.
  • A player must return with at least one ruins chip to score.
  • Each turn has four steps: deciding to turn back or not, reducing air, rolling dice to move, and searching for chips.
  • Searching can involve doing nothing, picking up or placing down a ruins chip.

Special Features

air supply and submarine, creating a collective resource management challenge.

  • The press-your-luck element where players decide how deep to dive for better treasures at the risk of running out of air.
