## Description

Product Description Oceans is a strategy game where you create a vibrant web of marine life through millions of years of evolution. It depicts the boundary between the known world near the ocean’s surface, and the unknown mysteries lurking in the deep. The Known World: Enter a vast, underwater cosmos: a mysterious interconnected world of tentacles, sharp teeth, and black ink, where your survival depends on your ability to adapt. But this is just on the surface - there's more when you're ready to dive deeper... The Unknown: Lurking deep below the surface lie mysteries so bizarre they hardly seem natural. The Deep is a deck of 89 unique power cards you’ll discover over the course of many games. These powerful traits represent the unknown: the undiscovered wonders of the deep ocean. Venture into the deep at your own risk! Directions Instructions included

Review: Great colourful game with great quality pieces - Solid box with so many quality pieces , really fun to play
Review: The only limited edition thing about it was the back cover. The front lid does not state limited edition as it should, and it does not contain the limited edition components which are: 15 Scenario cards (Foiled) 10 Deep cards (Foiled) 5-6 player expansion 40 Population tokens 10 Species boards 2 Bonus tokens 2 Player screens Unfortunate but I got it for a good price, so just take note before you buy!

*by N***R on 26 July 2023*

Missing the ocean board, which makes the game more complicated to play without it. I paid a lot of money for this game, as a birthday present, but have been unable to play it properly as a result. Not happy.
