About the game

What you do in a play session

In Into the Blue, you and your friends are divers searching for hidden treasures in the ocean depths. But beware, you're not the only ones after these riches! The game blends strategy and luck as you roll dice up to three times per turn, deciding when to stop or push your luck. The dice show numbers 1-5 and a treasure chest — if you roll a perfect sequence (1-2-3-4-5-chest), you grab a valuable chest and get another turn! But if you don't roll at least one 1, you don't mark your presence in that area. The game ends when the fifth chest is claimed or when someone uses all their shells. In the end, whoever has the most influence in the richest areas wins. It's fast, fun, and full of tense decisions: should you risk another roll or play it safe?
