Scientists from various fields, along with the researchers studying the ecological complexity and significance of the reefs, are collaborating to address the myriad challenges facing these ecosystems. Your assignment is to take command of a scientific vessel and embark on a journey of reef conservation. Hire the best crew, clean the ocean, and restore the reefs to their former glory.
During the game, players take on the role of researchers and saviors of the oceans.
You will sail the seas, hire crew, explore the coral reef, and try to restore it to a healthy state. To do well, you will need to efficiently manage your resources and energy, clean the ocean sectors of any pollution, and accomplish as many missions as possible.
On their turn players may choose to RECHARGE or TRAVEL. If they RECHARGE, they gain the rewards from the VP track . If they TRAVEL, they may deploy Reef Balls, move their Ship, play Mission cards and perform various actions.
The game is played for a variable number of rounds. Once a player passes the 22 VP threshold, their turn is immediately interrupted to allow for Objectives to be handed out and chosen by all players. When a player has crossed the 45 VP threshold, the end of the game is triggered. At this point, players complete the round and play one more full round, after which final scoring occurs and the player with the most VP wins the game.
