Description

Secrets of the Deep is a classic board game from 1991, designed by Wolfgang Riedesser, that's all about diving into the ocean to collect treasure. As one of 2 to 5 players, you'll take on the role of a scuba diver trying to raise as much treasure as possible in just 30 minutes. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all ages, especially children. With its nautical theme, you'll feel like you're exploring the depths of the sea, navigating through hazards and competing with other divers to get the most valuable treasures. As you play, you'll need to balance your air supply, decide how deep to dive, and use dolphins to your advantage - either to help yourself or hinder your opponents. The treasures are hidden at different depths, and their values are a surprise, adding an element of suspense to the game. With a mix of light strategy, calculation, and random chance, Secrets of the Deep is a thrilling experience that's perfect for a quick game night. The game's "press-your-luck" mechanic, combined with the moving ship, keeps the game exciting and short, making it a great filler game for any occasion.
