As each round progresses in the beginning your probability may lower a hair, but once people start taking treasures that line will start dropping at an accelerated rate. You’re going to feel the weight of each individual piece of treasure, and given that the average die roll on a given turn is 4, even with one or two prizes in tow you’re going to need a significantly greater number of turns to get back compared to the dive down. Players begin to understand that sometimes making it back with one or two lower-scoring pieces can be better than that temping level 4. Be careful to make sure you do still get back, but if you can drain the tank it will make it much harder for the other divers to make it back into the submarine from further out. While great for casual play (anyone might win if they are sensible) there isn’t a lot of scope for improving skill or strategy.

The result is a delightful visual presence that will draw in surrounding folk like flies to a light. The last Oink game in my collection, and also the first Oink game that I bought — Deep Sea Adventure. Also if you look at that gamefound, it's easy to be deceived---the actual gameplay portions are not cheap but aren't over the top expensive. Turning Early; It’s tempting to rush out into the depths of the ocean but remember that when you do turn back you must have enough oxygen to get back.Attack the Oxygen; The strategy if you are too far out is to switch to drawing oxygen down and making sure all players drown rather than the player near the front getting back with 2-3 treasures and you maybe not making it. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In addition, at the beginning of their turn, they use up the shared air on the submarine by one point for each treasure they carry. You decide whether to claim the treasure you land on, and if you do, you replace it with a generic space token, so everyone still has to include this space on their descent, or ascent back up. It will make the movement less because every time you jump the other player you get one free movement.

The problem is, on your next turn you will start to deplete the oxygen - one notch on the gauge for every treasure you have. Contents: 2 Special Dice; 6 Explorer Pieces; 48 Artifact Chips; 1 Submarine Board; 1 Air Marker; Instruction Manual.Turn Back; When you turn back is perhaps the most important moment in the game – grab the first treasure as you turn back, and then start to rush towards the submarine. The triangles are nearest the surface and the hexagons are on the ocean floor (it’s always the way, isn’t it? This entanglement leads to the only issue that some have had with the game, namely that the player who leads after the first or second round can try to pick up as much as possible to kill everyone before others can score. They also decide to turn back, but they're picking up more treasures as they go, using up more and more oxygen on their turns and travelling more and more slowly.

As my little game report has hopefully conveyed, there is a real sense of peril as you play Deep Sea Adventure.Push your luck in Deep Sea Adventure by diving into the depths of the ocean and recovering as many treasures as you can before the oxygen runs out. I don’t think it has a lot of frills, but it’s a fun press-your-luck game with an aesthetic that I’m fond of. Everyone may want to take their time, dive down deep, and get a big prize, but as soon as someone takes anything, the race is on. Green had made it a bit further than the others, so their treasure is a bit more valuable than your's or yellow's. Have fun playing the board game while you imagine you’re an explorer tasting the treasures sinking to the bottom of the mug.

The interesting thing about it is that it plays fairly similarly with large numbers of people because you can move further with more players (since there are more people you can skip over) even though the air runs out faster, as you need fewer turns to go deep into the depths. Importantly, as soon as you pick up a piece of treasure, the sub’s collective oxygen supply begins to diminish. Everyone geared up in diver suits, but having a very old submarine means sharing the same oxygen tank.Skipping past any other players they run into, they will end up landing on a treasure token, which they can decide to pick up or not.
