## Description
In Aquaria, the goal is simple: become the top aquarist. Each player starts with an empty tank and, throughout the game, buys fish, plants, feeds the creatures, and keeps everything in order. The fun comes from balancing new species acquisition with the need to maintain a stable ecosystem. The game blends hand management, where you decide which cards to use or discard, with set collection, as certain fish only reward bonuses when you gather them in groups. Worker placement comes into play when you position your helpers in different tank areas to perform specific actions, like buying fish or improving water quality. End‑game bonuses determine the final score, rewarding those who hit milestones such as the largest number of species, greatest plant variety, or best cleanliness level. With 1 to 4 players and a playtime ranging from 45 to 120 minutes, Aquaria offers a balanced mix of strategy and light fun. It’s perfect for card‑game lovers with an aquatic twist, yet also appeals to those seeking a more tactical challenge thanks to the well‑integrated mechanics.
