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!

Makes a good game better with a wild suit (kraken), a second currency worth negative points, and new locations where you can press your luck for a bigger score.

Some new options to fatten (or blubber?) up the aquatic intrigues of your next Abyss session. The NEBULIS corruption pearls are quite cool, as are the cards that interact with them, and I also like the Kraken creatures and how they can be used as 'wild cards' for purchasing Lords. As for the new Locations, I feel like the Loot cards and their related choices might be a little too arbitrary, even if their mechanisms are similar to others present in the Exploration phase of the game. Overall, it's a beautiful, nice addition to an already excellent game and helps freshen it up.

If 3-4 players are in the game - cool, less than that - not so much ;) Adds negative interaction to the game (bloody pearls and guild of smugglers)
