For centuries, creatures have ruled without peer in the depths of the oceans. Their kingdom, Abyss, is respected by all of their allies' nations, happy to find protection there against fearsome undersea monsters. Soon the throne will be vacant. What if it is time for you to claim it? Time is short! There are only a few days to go before the crowning of the new monarch. To expand your influence and seem to be the only clear choice, you'll have to explore, recruit, control

Explore the depths seeking Allies: The Exploration cards represent a nation of Allies with a value between 1 and 5. Allies grant you the support required for a Lord to deem you worthy of being joined.

Recruit the best Lords from the Court: The Lords all have powers, some possess Keys. A Key can also be gained by fighting a Monster. With 3 Keys, immediately take control of a Location. Control the main Locations of the kingdom - and the depths are yours.

Abyss is a development game, a combo-building game, and a set collection game in which players will attempt to take control of the various locations of the kingdom. This takes place on three levels: collect the Allies of your choice which will allow you to recruit Lords, who themselves will grant you access to the various Locations of the kingdom.

Mechanics include auction/bidding, card drafting, hand management, press your luck and set collection.
