Reef Project

Description

Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs are estimatedto be home to about 25% of all marine species. Unfortunately, these vibrantunderwater cities are dying. Climate change and its effect of rising seatemperatures is devastating the colorful algae that give coral reefs theirbrilliant hues, resulting in coral bleaching. Furthermore, other threats likepollution—in its various insidious forms—and overfishing are disrupting thedelicate balance of reef ecosystems. And so, scientists from various fields,along with the researchers studying the ecological complexity and significanceof the reefs, are collaborating to address the myriad challenges facing theseecosystems.

Your assignment is to take command of a scientific vessel and embark on ajourney of reef conservation. Hire the best crew, clean the ocean, and restorethe reefs to their former glory. During the game, players take on the role ofresearchers and saviors of the oceans. You will sail the seas, hire crew,explore the coral reef, clean the ocean sectors of any pollution, and try toaccomplish as many missions as possible. On their turn players may choose toRECHARGE or TRAVEL. If they RECHARGE, they gain the rewards from the VP track.If they TRAVEL, they may deploy Reef Balls, move their Ship, play Mission cards,and perform various actions. The game is played for a variable number ofrounds.

When a player has crossed the 45 VP threshold, the end of the game istriggered. After an additional round the final scoring takes place and theplayer with the most victory points is the winner.
