Cópia adquirida com um dos parceiros comerciais, o Pittas! Update: depois de ter jogado com a expansão, esse pode ser eleito facilmente como o melhor euro leve da minha coleção. Gostoso de jogar, fácil de explicar e com o setup mais ágil que já vi recentemente. O tema é mero pano de fundo aqui e se aplica relativamente bem a mecânica do jogo, que é simples e funcional. Arte belíssima, qualidade dos componentes excepcional. Recomendo em qualquer coleção, porém ele depende da expansão.

I simply adore the artwork, unique Merfolk theme, and clever bidding system mechanic in Abyss. And as a sucker for game components, I also really enjoy the plastic oyster cups and pearls -- these are absolutely great components to fiddle with throughout the game as you contemplate your next move. Designer Bruno Cathala often has bidding elements in his games, and Abyss sports my favorite version in its Explore the Depths action. Without getting to deep in to the rules, it's just neat as everyone gets to decide to wait or press there luck spending pearls to recruit the available ally. The game is relatively lightweight and I find it easy to teach as the board graphically lays out the three options on your turn as 3 distinct rows, exploring the depths, calling the senate, and recruiting a lord. This is not the easiest game for me to get to hit a table, but a game rarely takes over 30-45 minutes. This is most often an opening game if 3-4 people don't feel like jumping directly in to a heavier game.

Excellentes mécaniques avec des stratégies assez sympa à élaborer. Beaucoup de plaisir à 2 joueurs!
