Nautilion

About this board game

Nautilion is a dice game for 1–2 players, with sessions lasting about 30 minutes. Take command of a submarine in the Oniverse and race through the ocean depths to defeat the treacherous Darkhouse.

Each turn, roll three dice and assign one die to each of three figures: the Nautilion, the Phantom Submarine, and the Darkhouse. The Nautilion travels from the Happy Isles toward the Abyss, while the Phantom Submarine moves in the opposite direction along a path formed by Crew tokens.

• Move the Nautilion and recruit the Crew token where it ends its movement.
• Advance the Phantom Submarine and lose the Crew token it reaches.
• Give a die to the Darkhouse, which inflicts damage when it receives a high value.

Only four copies exist of each of the nine different Crew tokens, so every die assignment demands careful thought. You must decide which result helps your submarine most and which result you can afford to leave to your enemies.

To win, reach the Abyss before the Phantom Submarine reaches the Happy Isles, while assembling a full crew of nine different tokens. The five included expansions add new crew members, powers, treacheries, and challenges, giving Nautilion additional ways to explore its tense submarine adventure.
