Reef: Kings of the Coral

If you already enjoy the visual appeal and gameplay of Reef, get ready for an even deeper dive with the Kings of the Coral mini-expansion! This addition brings two charming little fish for each player, starting right beside your game board. The idea is that after performing your main action on your turn (whether drawing or playing a card), you can move one of these fish to an orthogonally adjacent space. If the fish hasn't joined the dance yet, it enters one of the outer rings of your board. And be careful not to place one fish on top of another; they don't like sharing the same spot! Another important point: no covering your fish with coral, alright? They need to be visible. The big payoff of this expansion comes during scoring: each formation you complete and score now grants an additional point for each fish on it. Since each formation can only be scored once, you can snag up to two extra points per formation. It's a simple yet elegant way to add an extra strategic layer, encouraging more careful planning to position both corals and fish, maximizing your points without hindering your reef's construction.
