Abyss: Kraken
Expansion of: AbyssThe Smugglers Guild settled in the heart of the giant sea creatures cemetery, in the darkest depths of the Deep kingdom. In this disconcerting necropolis, with the help of mysterious Krakens, representatives of Guilds are trading NEBULIS, wonderful black pearls, that are the unofficial currency of the realm. That’s money stained with blood. They accelerate your way to power, but be careful, because those who are caught with possession face a terrible fate!

I like more stuff but wasn’t a fan of the gambling or negative point stuff which consists of most of the expansion. I was ok with it going in but the gambling has too big of a layoff and the negative points for having majority in two player is too steep with the additional point loss for each.

Adds a bunch of cool bits, but not 100% necessary. Really enjoy the hot potato aspect. Quick route to getting powerful lords early, but you need to have a strategy to dump the contraband on your neighbors before the end. Solid addition to one of my favorite games.

Expands base game with additional lords and a new "black pearls" currency that score negative. Well thought out limitations on how black pearls can be spent add an interesting new layer to the game.
