Deep Dark Dive

1–6 players · 30 min · 10+

Deep Dark Dive is a fast-paced, push-your-luck, and set collection card game for 1 to 6 players where you take on the role of professional divers exploring perilous underwater caves.

Throughout the game, players must carefully manage their hands to perform one of five key actions: Ascend, Build, deCompress, Dive, or Explore. As you push further into the depths to score combinations, you must constantly monitor the accumulating nitrogen levels in your body. Manage your hand poorly, and you will suffer from "Nitrogen Narcosis," a potentially fatal mistake that forces you to discard precious cards!

Featuring multiple modes—including advanced tactical events, team-based cooperative play, and a competitive tournament system—Deep Dark Dive challenges you to balance your nitrogen limits, score the highest depth certifications, and safely ascend to become the ultimate dive master.
