## Description
Imagine that humanity decided to get a bit too daring and started sailing through forbidden waters, invading the gods' domains and disturbing the peace of exotic marine creatures. That's where you come in! In Sea Dragons, you lead a family of sea dragons with the noble mission of restoring order. Your goal? Sink arrogant pirate ships, recover lost treasures, and prove that your lineage is the true protector of the underwater kingdoms.

In practice, the game is an exercise in positioning and strategy. Each turn, you look at the two pattern cards in your hand and choose one to place your dragon on the board. This allows you to expand your influence across the four marine kingdoms. But here's the catch: you cannot place your own dragons adjacent to one another. And if you're 'too kind' and place your dragon next to an opponent's, congratulations: you've just handed over treasures for free!

While you spread your presence, you can sink ships and, if you want to upgrade your move, you can complete specific missions using those ships. Victory goes to the player who best balances territorial expansion across the four kingdoms with treasure collection and contract fulfillment. It's the kind of game where every piece placed can either open a path for you or give your friend the exact advantage they needed to overtake you. With a modular board and variable setup, every session brings a new challenge, requiring you to adapt your strategy to dominate the depths.
