About the game

What is DIVE! The Board Game

Can you make a living with this boat? What can you do? Fish? Become a rum runner? While contemplating your future at a local restaurant, the local news station runs a story depicting a man and his crew popping a bottle of Champagne as they celebrate finding a wreck full of Spanish treasure. “Why not me?” you ask yourself.... Why not you?

Armed only with your boat and 50 Trade Credits (TCs), you decide to set out tomorrow to find treasure and fame in the waters between the U.S. and the Bahamas. You will have to learn to dive, sail, and methods for search and recovery. Will you try to advance conservatively, or try to advance quickly by luck? Will you try to depend on cheaper equipment, or spend the fruits of your labors on the latest in high-tech equipment? It will not be easy, and the competition with other wanna-be treasure hunters will be fierce.

Your goal is to become the most renowned treasure hunter the Bahamas has ever known. Up to 6 players take on the role of one of 16 international treasure hunters, each with different individual strengths. Players may choose to visit the ports of Miami, Port Lucaya, or Alice Town to purchase and sell dive equipment, boating equipment, search and recovery supplies, and other merchandise; players may choose to explore unexplored areas of the sea by turning over sea tiles with random depths, or dive in explored areas.
