Hypoxia társasjáték

Angol leírás

A 1-4 player deckbuilding scuba diving adventure. Players assume the role of an elite diver funded by a powerful corporate sponsor. They venture down into the recently discovered ruins of Atlantis to plunder treasure for unscrupulous reasons.

Players must carefully manage their oxygen levels and avoid gaining too many "Hypoxia" cards which will hinder their ability to safely return to the surface. Building a good deck is imperative to survival.

The game features a large navigable board and numerous trinket, relic, and landmark cards that makes the game immensely repayable. Vicious traps litter the Atlantean landscape which must be carefully circumvented... or audaciously confronted. Players will visit temples to gain useful Boons or uncover Landmarks to change the rules of the game. They will need to play into the strengths of their unique sponsor to gain advantage over their rivals.

The game is played in a series of rounds. In each round, players alternate taking turns. Each turn, players play cards from their hand, utilize the blessings of Grecian Deities, quaff tantalizing Ambrosia, or invoke the aid of their Sponsor. When a player plays a "Slow" card they'll pause and allow other players to take turns. Ultimately, once all players have emptied their hands, the round ends. Afterwards, players "Breathe" refilling their hand at the cost of some of their precious oxygen. Rounds continue until all players have drowned or are able to successfully acquire a valuable "Relic" card and return to the surface before running out of oxygen.

The player who is able to score the most victory points is the winner. Victory points are a culmination of successfully acquiring treasure, visiting temples and landmarks, and fulfilling the conditions asked by Sacred Texts. And surviving, of course.
