High Pressure társasjáték

Angol leírás

In High Pressure, players compete to dive deeper than their rivals over four rounds.

Each round begins with players secretly selecting two Safe cards and one Hazard card from their hand. One card is placed face down into each depth row, building a shared grid of possible dive locations. Players always know where they placed their own cards, but must guess where others have placed hazards.

After the grid is built, all players simultaneously choose a column to dive in by secretly setting their die. The choices are revealed at the same time, and the selected cards at that depth are flipped.

If a player reveals a Safe card, their dive succeeds and they may either return to the surface to score points or continue deeper in the next phase. If they reveal a Hazard card, their submarine is forced back to the surface and they score nothing for that round.

The deeper a player dives successfully, the more points they earn:
• 10m = 1 point
• 20m = 2 points
• 30m = 3 points
(40m in Extended Mode = 4 points)

However, points are only scored if the player returns safely. If they hit a Hazard at any depth, they lose all potential points for that round.

After all dive phases are resolved, surviving players score based on the deepest level they reached. A new round then begins.

The game ends after four rounds. The player with the highest total score wins.

High Pressure is a simultaneous action selection game focused on prediction, risk management, and reading your opponents.
