Review: In dieses Spiel kann man sich nur verlieben. Anleitung zwar auf englisch. Aber leicht verständlich und gut bebildert. Die wenigen Sätze auf den Karten wiederholen sich und sind auch leicht zu übersetzen. Wer Set Collection und Deck Building mag ist hier genau richtig. Sehr schönes Kenner-Spiel.
Review: My husband & I game...a LOT. This is a great addition! Very easy to get started. We like that you don't have to continually track resources-you use them with each turn. Also, this type of game where you don't know who won until the end is something we like. It keeps you motivated to keep trying and not give up! As with card games, it helps to know the card verbiage so as you play more, this is easier. Now, the strategy! You could have your next 2 or so moves figured out, and another player does something to mess you up! So, it's a game where you're constantly thinking, analyzing and evaluating your moves. It's also based on cards that you acquire...but you can select, unlike some games where it's a 'blind draw'...we like the selection. Very few minis...again, less to track! Our only complaint...the ink on the 'wild' mantas...it's just too dark. We will find a bright permanent thin sharpie to write over them. Other than that...well-designed and great replayability! Once you get the hang of it (by the 2nd game for us) it plays reasonably quickly for 2 people. Have not tried with more than 2 yet or the solo. We already want to try the Cold Water expansion (we own already), and just ordered the Reef today as we like it that much!! If you're new to gaming, this is a great, entry-level game with good mechanics!

## Features

- aquatica is a deep, but easy to learn family engine builder about underwater kingdoms.
- in the game you will become one of the mighty ocean kings, struggling to bring glory to his realm. to win the game, you need to capture and buy locations, recruit new characters, and complete goals; each of these actions gives you victory points at the end of the game. to do so, you need to play cards from your hand (each with a unique set of actions) and combine them. don't think it's simple! with a good strategy during your turn, you can take up to ten actions in a row.
- 1-4 players

it's one of the few games I've ever played and wanted to immediately play again when it finished, lots of competition, decision making, and quick setup make it exciting to bring to the table
