North Star Games Oceans Board Game

Product Information

Traits can’t be triggered by themselves being played, or affect anything triggered by themselves being played. Afterwards, as far as the species with Advanced Eyes is concerned, the target doesn’t have any Deep traits, but its “ignore” effect still applies.

The world is a wondrous place and Oceans, with its gorgeous Surface traits and beguiling Deep traits, lets you feel that wonder, evoking a sense of danger and exploration, risk and astonishment.During the game, the creature may evolve defenses against predators, and predators may evolve tactics to circumvent those defenses. I think by now you should have the impression that I really like the gameplay of Oceans, but that’s not to say that it is all pure, clear water. Even though it affects attacks, Neurotoxin doesn’t have a black text box, and it isn’t a defensive trait. Shell icons don’t reduce the attack value of the attacking species, just the number of population it takes.

Without card effects getting in the way, this is a simple process of taking a number of fish from the reef equal to your forage level.The company consulted with Brian O'Neill, a marine biologist at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, to establish the scientific background for the game. We are a group of passionate individuals who share our love of board games through written and video reviews, articles, and humor, so that others can join us in our journey. So having a few that forage greedily plus making use of adjacency and the way the cards effectively wrap around the players is a critical part of every strategy.
