Abyss

Players vie for control of an underwater realm by recruiting allies, lobbying a council, and claiming key territories. On each turn players draft ally cards to build combinations and collect influence, use those allies to recruit powerful Lords whose abilities shape future actions, and spend resources to take control of strategic locations. Lords’ powers benefit their holders but are deactivated when the card is used to claim a territory, so timing and sequencing matter. Victory is determined by influence in the council, control of territories, and effective use of collected cards and powers across the game.
