Oceans: Legends of the Deep

About this expansion

Oceans: Legends of the Deep is a 2023 expansion for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 90 minutes. It brings cultural legends, high fantasy, and mythologies from around the globe into the Oceans ecosystem.

Oceans takes players on a journey from the known world into the unknown, where powerful traits can seem almost impossible within the realm of biology. With Legends of the Deep, that journey moves beyond science and into the world of legend.

At the beginning of the game, each player receives four Legend cards. Players choose one card, pass the remaining cards to the player on their left, and continue drafting until everyone has four Legend cards.

• Draft four Legend cards through a rotating selection process.
• Play one Legend card during the Play Cards phase in addition to your normal card play.
• Use abilities with game-changing effects that can influence the global game state.
• Replace a Legend card by subtracting the old card’s cost from the cost of the new one.

Legend cards add a distinct layer of decision-making to the Oceans experience. Their abilities extend the game beyond familiar biological possibilities, creating new ways for mythology and high fantasy to shape the ecosystem.

Whether you are exploring the unknown or looking for powerful new effects, Oceans: Legends of the Deep introduces a collection of legendary possibilities to the game. Draft carefully, choose when to deploy your extra card, and discover what lies beyond the world of science.
