What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of Shallow Sea and looking to spice up your gameplay, this mini-expansion is right up your alley! It introduces 4 rare fish meeples, representing endangered or vulnerable species, along with 3 new Ecosystem Cards. These little swimmers are designed to join the fun, adding a fresh challenge to your board. Imagine how the presence of a fearsome shark might influence where these more delicate fish are willing or unwilling to venture. These new cards and meeples promise to offer an even more engaging puzzle experience and, naturally, boost the replayability of the base game. It's a fantastic addition for those seeking more variety and a touch of marine conservation in their game nights.
