Deep Sea Adventure – Award-Winning Japanese Push-Your-Luck Board Game | 2–6 Players | Ages 8+ | Portable Travel Game

I tried this game out and immediately purchased it. I have played it 5 times with a broad array of people in the past two days and it has been a hit every time.Here's why I love it:Small- If shelf space is a concern, you will love the tiny footprint of this game. It's like a cute little box of chocolates.Quality- The materials have a nice feel, made of wood and thick card stock. The box has a water proof sheen that gives you confidence dropping it in a bag to take on the go.Design- Rarely does a game hit the right note between being playful and sleek. I love the color palette, shapes of the pieces, and minimalist aesthetic.Mechanics - all the rules work well together. Rounds, dropping treasure, hopping players; all create a streamlined game experience.Theme- The game does a great job of marrying mechanics to theme. As the air meter drops, the drama cranks up and leads to many dramatic finishes where you'll be holding your breath.Depth of play- This simple little game allows for a surprising number of strategies.Deep Sea Adventure has me hooked and will keep me coming back for more from Oink Games.

I love the fact that everything fits in that tiny cute box, that you can carry everywhere with a minimum effort and doesn't take much space on the shelf. The mechanics of the game are simple to learn and to explain to players of all ages, but that doesn't take away any value to this game. This game is capable of generating pretty intense 15 minutes plays that will feed on your group's dynamic but also on your own individual greedy self ^^Additionally, the production quality and the overall design is absolutely wonderful.If you are looking for an easy to learn 15 minutes game, that works with two players and scales perfectly with larger groups, I would definitely recommend this game to you!

I love how portable this board game is, it fits in my small purse and I can easily whip it out if the conversation hits a lull. It’s easy to explain and there are a lot of videos out there too to watch for reference. I also like it because it has a high replay ability and it fits anywhere because you make the game board!

I had heard about the original Deep Sea Adventure game on a podcast, as well as a few YouTube videos, so I decided to pick it up once I saw that an English version had come out. I'm so glad that I did! This game is amazing.Deep Sea Adventure is a push-your-luck game where you are trying to dive into the ocean to get as much treasure as possible, then make it out before you run out of air. But beware: you and your fellow divers all share an air supply that is counting down as soon as people start collecting the treasure! The more treasure you collect, the harder it is to resurface...and you only score points if you make it back to the submarine.I host a gaming group at my work, and we play mostly light to medium-weight games on Friday nights. The entire group loved this game. I was a little nervous about the playtime after I read in the rules that you play over 3 rounds (and some of my co-worker's attention spans are about 1/2 a round), but this wasn't an issue it all. Since the remaining air is determined by all the players, we all wanted to know who was doing what so we could try to maximize our points. Needless to say, everyone was completely immersed, and had a great time. We cheered at good die rolls, groaned when someone was too greedy...can't wait until we bust this game out again!I would say you could probably play this with a bright elementary-schooler with a little patience (the box recommends ages 8+), but being able to think through your moves and react to what others are doing is a pretty large part of the game, so bear that in mind.The component quality is outstanding. Each token and player piece, as well as the box are all very high quality. I wish more games would use the same durable satin finish on their cardboard tokens!Definitely a 10/10 for me and my gaming group!

This is a great little game to take anywhere. It is small but designed well enough that the pieces don't feel like junk. For appearance and packaging I would give it a 5. Even the idea of the game is good. Simple rules, play is quick, and most people enjoy it at least a little bit.However, the game isn't perfect. It does get old quickly and while there is a lot of chance involved you can usually win if you pay attention to how your opponents play and then adjust your style accordingly. Then if they are smart and do the same to you the game scoring really drags to a halt as everyone tries to run the sub out of air before any players can make it back with loot...I've never been in a game where we ever made it anywhere near the extremely valuable loot at the bottom. That is really the only negative. Honestly, this is the type of game that everyone should own and keep around for those random moments where you need to kill a little time but not get too involved in what you are doing.

This is a fun game for trips. It's very compact. The game itself is easy to learn, yet provides enough strategy and critical thinking to keep you interested for multiple games in a row. A single game doesn't last very long, maybe 15-20 minutes. So, it's not a huge time commitment. It's great to keep in your carry on for lay overs at an airport or something to take on weekend getaways. It's also great because it's good for 2-6 people.If playing with only two people, I'd recommend trying each player has two pieces (kind of like a 4 player game). It'll make it more interesting.

I LOVE THIS GAME! I'm an avid scuba diver, and the idea of this game is perfect for me. I also really love how different the game is depending on how many people you're playing with. I've played with some of my middle-school students and they picked it up quickly and really enjoy it too. Plus, it's so simple and small, I'm excited to pack it for trips in the future.
