AEGEAN SEA - Carl Chudyk's latest card game - In Aegean Sea, you take charge of one of five ancient peoples (Sparta, Athens, Crete, Ephesus, or Rhodes) in a quest to lead them to great things! Your goal is simple: Score points. Your primary source of points is your Home Island, where you'll amass Goods. Several of the same type are best, as they score as the square of their quantity (5 bronze = 25, etc). Each of the five peoples also has their own unique Customs - special asymmetric rules that change the course of play. Some score you points directly, others by influencing your actions. Each player has a unique deck of 44 cards, each a real island in the Aegean. Every card has preference for one of the game's 5 basic actions. On most turns, you'll spend a card to take its matching basic action, and then have the opportunity to use it's special effect - but only if you can perform the entire effect. Optimizing your plays to use as many effects as possible is a crucial part of a successful strategy! Each Island Card can represent one of five things in play, depending on where it is tucked. Learning how to efficiently manage which cards you use for actions and which to represent your people, ships, and temples is very important, because your deck is the timer for the game. Spending your turn to refill your hand after your deck is empty ends the game immediately! This is but one of many strategies you'll need to figure out to be successful. Aegean Sea is a game that you can learn reasonably quickly, but your skills will evolve and grow with each play. We've worked hard to make the game both accessible and strategically deep, because we'd like to see you bring this game to your table to enjoy many, many times.
