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.

Product Description
Such a fun little game...
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!
