Once again, I was confuzzled trying to make heads or tails of the instructions, watched another tutorial video, EVEN MORE LOST.... Watched yours and It all makes sense now!" Thank you again as always! (I should have just come here first)

Add to Cart. This game is just beautiful beautiful beautiful. I guess that growing up on the Great Barrier Reef and learning about reef conservation adds to the appeal this game has. The design and artistry is amazing! It has lovely weight and mechanics, and seems to have a nice smooth and yet crunchy game flow. Cant wait for this to be released in Australia. This was a wonderful surprise to wake up to. Thanks for another great vid.

Great Learn While Playing!
1 error: @41:43 you spend 2 cameras in order to "move twice". You do the first move, then explain several things, but never do the 2nd move.

I wished the crew had faces. I am missing eyes and mouths. But i must confess the game is

51:00 didn't take your second mission card. And I preordered for August. 😁

This game looks very fun to play, but a little too thinky for me. I would still enjoy giving it a try, just to see how I would do.

I skimmed through the videos, but the core mechanism sounds really interesting, kinda reminds me of Nucleum + Great Western Trail. Nucleum was a bit of a let down for me due to the luck factor of the road tiles and contract tiles. How'd you comment about the luck factors in this game in the market rows?

42:20 forgot yellow's second diver move.

I wonder how this would play at 2P? The area majority around pollution and having fewer reef balls out there in general makes this seem less interesting at 2P. Any thoughts?

[eskimoranger]

Like the look of this, is there anything similar thats already out?

FYI Per Transcript: "reef ball" count = 75

My wallet is grateful that it doesn't look interesting at all. It looks very generic, with a random theme adhered to it. I was hopeful... but... I'm glad it didn't do anything for me.
