Transecopia

Tranpsecopia is a dice placement game in which players contend for resources without knowing the full extent of each other's intent. It takes calculated risk and a modicum of psychology to decide where you commit your resources. Choose a character, collect resources, and access the reality-defying elements birthed by the spacetime rift to upgrade your submarine. The first person to finish upgrading their submarine will enter the Transecopia and win the game. In Transecopia, each ship’s captain races against the others to salvage resources and upgrade their submarine. But resources are limited, competition is fierce, and working within the crushing depths makes your efforts unreliable. Each captain must weigh needs, probabilities, and assets to decide where to commit their efforts. Do you commit all your effort to collecting and building? Do you explore the depths, trusting luck to bring you caches of resources and unexpected boons? Do you try to master the tides of fate by tapping into the alien artifacts? Your choices will either win you glory within the Transecopia or consign your name to oblivion. —description from the designer
