Beneath the waves lies a vast, underwater cosmos: a mysterious interconnected world of sharp teeth, glowing eyes and black ink, where survival depends on the ability to adapt to the unknown. Oceans is a stand-alone game in the Evolution series that explores the boundary between the known world near the ocean's surface and the mysteries lurking in Earth's deepest unexplored region.

At the base of the food chain are billions of one-celled phytoplankton capturing the sun's energy through photosynthesis. Every other species is a predator, each bigger than the next, all the way up to the dreaded Apex Predator, and even larger are the enormous Whales that glide through the water scooping up everything in their path. In this interactive engine builder, players evolve their species in a continually changing ecosystem, adapting to the inevitable march of time (Aging) and to the many predators hunting for their next meal.

Life at the Surface: In the first half of the game, players modify their species with traits from the Surface deck. These traits were chosen for their rich thematic connections, creating synergistic card play that mirrors a real oceanic ecosystem and brings stability to the game.

Secrets of The Deep: In the second half, powerful cards from The Deep arrive to shatter that stability. Its many unique, game-altering traits are uncovered gradually over the course of multiple games, designed to evoke wonder and disbelief and to spark the imagination with the fantastic synergies they make possible.

Shifting Scenarios: Two randomly chosen scenario cards activate and deactivate at various points during play, changing the basic tenets of the game. They push players to vary their play style and strategy every time the ocean is explored.

For anyone who loves building clever engines and watching an ecosystem come alive, Oceans is an invitation to dive deeper. Adapt, evolve and discover what lurks in the dark.
