Description
In Deep Vents, you'll control your own hydrothermal ecosystem, competing to survive in the depths by being efficient and preying on nearby systems. Each turn, you'll draft a tile and add new life and geological features to your ecosystem, using archaea as currency. You'll place tiles adjacent to each other, then grow or trigger them to carry out unique effects, such as attacking opponents or gaining shells to defend against attacks. As you navigate the game, you'll need to balance growth and triggering, all while trying to avoid taking shortfall tokens that limit your drafting abilities. With 2 to 4 players competing over 40 to 60 minutes, Deep Vents is a thrilling game of strategy and survival. Will you emerge victorious, or will your ecosystem succumb to the pressures of the deep? With its unique blend of tile placement and resource management, Deep Vents is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
