About this game

Rule an underwater kingdom by playing character cards to capture locations, recruit allies, and push scored cards upward through a unique sliding-card mechanism. Each location card starts partially hidden in your player board, and as you complete objectives, cards physically slide up to reveal new abilities and points. The card-sliding mechanic is tactile and satisfying, turning engine building into a visual experience. Easy to learn but the engine combos get deliciously complex as your kingdom grows.
