🦊

Vibe's take

Light and tactical β€” the real game is in the drafting order, since every die you take is one your opponents can't have.

About this game

Australis sends you diving into the East Australian Current, the warm underwater highway off Australia's east coast, where you guide a family of sea turtles through coral reefs and schools of fish. Each round you draft dice that grant different advantages, building toward the highest score by game's end.
