Nautilus

Post by sourisdudesert »

We are happy to announce that Nautilus, a game by Charles Chevalier published by Libellud, is now available on Board Game Arena :)

Nautilus is an underwater card game for 2 players. On each round, you must place your divers to earn domain cards placed in the submarine. At the end of the 6th round, the player who has the most points (= stars) in a domain wins this domain, and the player with the majority of domains wins the game.

To earn a domain card, you must have on your side a diver with a higher value than the diver on the other side. The trick is the following: on your turn, you can place a card on your side or on your opponent's side. Consequently a diver with a value of 1 is an excellent card (you can place it on your opponent side).

Some cards also trigger a special effect: when you place a diver with a value of 6 or 9, you can take any diver and move it to the opposite side of the submarine. And when you place a diver with a value of 7 or 8, you can take any diver on the same side and move it horizontally to a free place.

In addition, at the beginning of each round, each player gets a special card that can be used once in the round with a very special effect.

Now everyone (even John Snow) knows everything about Nautlus, which is an excellent and fast 2 players game: we strongly recommend you to try it!

BGA would like to thank the extraordinary team from Libellud who always find pearls like this one (and by the way you should definitely Mysterium and Loony Quest).

Finally, we'd like to address a big "thank you" to Stanislav Stepanenko (stst) who developed this adaptation, and who is both one of the best players on BGA and one of the best developers on BGA Studio. Double congratulations!

Fun and easy game, thanks for your work :-D

The rules on the side are lacking 1 thing:

Behind "A player gets a Domain card when the value of the Diver card on their side is higher than that of the one on the opposite side. "
please add: Exception of this rule: The Crab (1) wins against Diver 14.

Took me a while to figure that out ^^
