Dive! Diver! Die!

 

Players are divers diving for treasure, in this game gold and – for a more difficult version –for the Jewel of Zakarra. You play four diving expeditions and should survive each dive and find gold. Each diving expedition is prepared with event, oxygen supply, maximum duration of the dive, rolling for maximum gold as well as depth of dive and oxygenator card. In the diving phase you descent one level in each turn, roll the oxygen-dice and adjust the oxygen supply accordingly. When you reach your chosen depth you scavenge up to the maximum duration – if you scavenge shorter the oxygen supply is adjusted accordingly - and rise one level per turn until you reach the surface. If you run out of oxygen you go back to the boat without any loot. If you are the only one to finish a dive successfully you earn a bonus of 20 gold. Event cards can be played any time during the dive.
