About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a master of the deep and feel your underwater city needs a fresh spark, this mini-expansion is exactly the spice you've been looking for! Released to celebrate Delicious Games' 5th anniversary and the legacy of their debut title, Underwater Cities: Mini-expansion delivers exactly what a Eurogame enthusiast craves: strategic variety without the bloat. Don's expect a massive box filled with heavy components; instead, the focus is on 12 brand-new cards designed to shake up your-established routines. These cards integrate seamlessly into the existing gameplay, offering new avenues for development and forcing you to rethink your resource management and worker placement-driven economy. It's a 'pocket-sized' upgrade that keeps the game feeling fresh every time you dive back in. Perfect for players who love the core loop of Underwater Cities but want to avoid the predictability of repeated sessions. If you want to keep the strategic depth high while keeping your shelf space optimized, this is your go-to-go addition!
