Off the east coast of Australia is an underwater superhighway, a warm stretch of ocean called the East Australian Current. Here, your sea turtles swim amidst beautiful flora and fauna. Each round you choose dice which offer various advantages in this diverse ecosystem: select food cubes to feed ever-growing schools of fish, settle corals onto reefs, swim further down the current with your sea turtles or choose to be the first player to pick dice in the next round.
Your various actions earn you points and whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. At the end of each round, an exciting dice showdown awaits. Dice with a higher value have a better chance of winning, but sometimes even they won’t save you! Who will best hold their own in the turbulent waters of the EAC?
