oceanos

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Oceanos!

 In Oceanos, play as an expedition captain for 15 to 20 minutes, from 8 years old and 2 to 4 players collect astonishing animal species!

Throughout the game, the player composes his underwater expedition by arranging his exploration cards on three superimposed lines.

Each captain chooses an expedition card and passes them to the other captains who do the same. The exploration cards contain several elements that allow you to score points or improve your submarine.

 Each submarine is made up of five elements which improve as you progress through the levels: a thruster, an engine, a cockpit, an aquarium and a diving hatch.

Exploration cards represent the discoveries of expeditions which are either positive (animals, corals, treasures), negative (kraken eyes) or improvements (bases and crystals).

 The game is played in 3 rounds of rounds. Each player chooses a color and assembles their submarine with the level pieces, then after placing the diver and fuel tokens, we randomly draw a kraken token for the 3 sizes.

 The expedition cards of the round are distributed, then each player receives an exploration card per possessed periscope.

You choose an exploration card to play face down in front of you, then the players place them from left to right on the same line. We will have one line of exploration cards per round. Fuel tokens allow you to keep a card face down for safekeeping.

The diver token allows you to recover the treasures found there and all those on the cards under which they are found on the ascent on a map with a treasure.

To improve your submarine, the crystals placed before the base will determine its level at the end of the round.

You earn points based on the animals collected and the submarine thrusters.

Then we count the Kraken's points with a token. It is the player who has the most on his cards who loses the points associated with the token of the current level.

At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points is the winner.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

Today we are going to talk about Oceanos!

Players will explore the ocean floor while developing their submarines in three rounds that represent different levels of depth.

The more powerful the submarine, the more victory points it will bring.

During a round, everyone must choose between the short term (exploring the seabed) or the long term (developing their submarine).

 There are two ways to earn points: – either catch fish within the limits of the aquarium's capacities, collect corals in order to create a long coral reef, or recover treasures with the help of divers. – or improve his submarine to increase his capacities.

Indeed, like a puzzle, the submarine is made up of several parts (the periscope, the cockpit, the tank, the rudder, etc.) that we will be able to assemble.

 Each part of the submarine can be improved: you can cover more distance with a more powerful engine, collect more fish in a larger aquarium, receive more cards with a larger periscope, collect more treasures with more divers...

 Each player thus experiences a certain pleasure in watching his submarine grow...

Good day and good game ;)
