About the game
If you've already fallen in love with the world of Namiji, get your boat ready because Aquamarine is here to stir things up! Just a quick heads-up: this is an expansion, so you absolutely need the base game to play. You can't sail these waters without it!

So, what's new in these-waters? Aquamarine brings a fresh layer of excitement to your fishing-themed-adventure. The big star here is the whirlpool mechanic, which adds a dynamic element to how you navigate and interact with the board. On top of that, you'll find even more marine creatures to discover, giving your set collection-loving brain even more reasons to dive deep. It's all about that perfect balance of collecting colorful fish, managing your gear, and timing your moves perfectly.

This expansion also packs in all the-stretch-goal goodies from the original Kickstarter campaign, including a lovely booklet filled with the stories of the boats, adding a nice touch of lore to your sessions. In terms of gameplay, it keeps that beautiful-yet-strategic vibe that Namiji is known for. You'll be deciding whether to chase after a rare-looking creature or play it safe with your current haul. It's perfect for players who enjoyed the base game and want just a bit more variety and tactical depth without a massive jump in complexity. If you're looking to spice up your-cozy-gaming-nights with a bit more-than-just-the-basics,-Aquamarine is the way to go. It's a beautiful, thematic upgrade that respects the original-while making every fishing trip feel slightly different from the last!
