Reef Encounter

Players cultivate colonies of polyps to grow branching corals across a shared reef and deploy a limited set of shrimp tokens to lock or protect structures. Corals can attack neighboring colonies to consume their polyps; consumed polyps become a resource spent to perform actions such as flipping or locking coral tiles and manipulating coral values. The game revolves around area growth, tactical placement, and resource management as players balance expansion with defense and use consumed polyps to alter scoring at the end of the game.

Me siento muy limitado y no consigo que el juego no juegue por mi.

This is a stocks game where instead of doing the train thing, you are fish eating coral. In the game you take turns placing tiles, moving your claim markers (which take the form of cute shrimps), or banking tiles from the board as stocks. When tiles get banked with that action, you have to throw away the first four back to the bag, so there's lots of incentive to play inefficiently and try to grow your chain of tiles out beyond what you can properly protect. There are a number of value tiles in the central board which determine the endgame value of each tile banked. The trick to the game is that so long as certain conditions get met, when you place tiles you can replace other tiles already on the board. Tiles you've replaced to to the front of your player screen and give you a lot of needed flexibility in your actions, and most importantly, they can be spent to lock one of the value tiles, preventing other players from flipping them over. The game ends when someone has banked tiles for the fourth time, or when all the value indicator tiles have been locked. The game provides an interesting logistical puzzle in the way tile chains can grow, be replaced, or banked, but the game is really hurt by over complicated rules and a lack of visual clarity to the design. It feels overwrought compared to the much smoother experiences that you'd get from Chicago Express or Sheepland. The rulebook is impossibly poor, and I wouldn't recommend trying to learn the game from it. :nostar: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
