The diving theme is so nicely implemented that it's difficult to imagine this game with a different one, but I have to admit that the "Alice" theme would have been also very appealing. This game is on my wishlist since I have seen its presentation by the "un monde de jeux" channel. Such a gorgeous game, with a great theme and simple but unique mechanisms. Bravo ! I am eager to play this with my family and it looks like a lot of fun... Only problem : will it get a release in Japan ?

@@aimajica Merci!

@@aimajica The game will be distributed by Arclight Games in Japan and will be available in the next few weeks :-)

@@sophiesitdown2479 Awesome ! :D Thanks for the answer. I will be on the lookout for it... ;)

Or a cave exploration. This could also be the horror version 😄

In solo mode, you have to compete against an automated diver. All explanations are here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcmkdK9yqbaVcnU.html

Haha, yes 100% agree!

But he didn't. You don't LITERALLY go into the pages.

@@matthewharris-levesque5809 I missed that one. His first use about depth perception is what triggered my note.

I literally don't think Tom has ever been diving if he thinks that the game literally feels like diving.

We removed many ways to fail. There is a learning curve to win at DIVE. For instance, the plastic are thick, which implies that there is a space between two overlaping printed element; Slowly moving your head when watching carrefully, you can see that both printed elements move differently. It is subtil but enjoyable to succeed seeing this when other players do not. You do not have to play at random… but you can if you wish ;-)

Precisely. Maybe a little longer lasting with the right kids, but it will probably ‘dry up’ fairly quick. 😏

EXACTLY.

Hmm. interesting. Guy, who did not play the says the replayability is low, but the guy who played the game many times says no such thing. Hmm, who you believe? Why would be the replayability low? Every time you got a different tile configuration, new outlook, etc.

It's interesting, because I feel the exact opposite :D. Since you shuffle the sheets, the setup is completely different each time. And there are a lot of sheets... I'm guessing that this game is so particular and straightforward that it will be a very divisive one. Obviously, it will look like it has a low replay ability to people who aren't drawn by the game concept and/or its simple mechanisms (guessing, push your luck). It appeals to me. It looks like the kind of game that you take out once every two weeks to have a quick, fun and unique board game experience with your family or guests.

@@aimajica Good outlook. I hope it continues to amuse you. Strong sales will pave the way for more originality.

The manta ray is more subtil than that. Yes it can help to go accross many spaces at once, but if you are ahead of other players you can try to catch it so that they cannot. Also, the interest of manta rays vary depending the position of the player pawns on the track.
