Shrouded in myth and untold dangers, the vast ocean calls to those brave enough to explore its secrets. What marvels lie beyond the horizon?
Sail your way across the mysterious ocean in this cooperative tile-laying game. Extend your route with path cards or discover a marvel by meeting its requirements. Take in the fantastical sights without facing too many encounters to safely complete your wondrous journey!
Set up the game by placing your ship card, creating a deck of marvels based on your chosen difficulty, and shuffling the path deck.
Each turn, the active player may draw two path cards, placing them in such a way that they extend the dotted line showing your shipβs journey. They may instead place one of two available marvels to cover up the specific set of required encounter icons shown on the marvel, adhering to any additional placement restrictions on the marvel.
When no further cards may be placed, the game ends. Count up the number of encounter icons of each type still visible: if they exceed the threshold for that type, you immediately lose. Otherwise, score your journey. Points are earned for each path segment, non-whirlpool icons, and whether all marvels were placed. Points are lost for unplaced marvels and visible whirlpools. Compare the final score to the included chart to determine the fate of your epic voyage!
For an additional challenge, you may use the journey effects found on the back of the ship card, adding complications that change throughout the game depending on the current active marvel. Overcome these odds and guide your ship to safety to prove yourselves masters of the sea!

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games, I will rarely if ever turn down an opportunity to play these games.
4.5 - Oh my gosh, the absolute best games...but also I'm not always down to play them. For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever.
4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more.
3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that.
2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances.
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance.
1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game.
1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
