Bargain Basement Bathysphere

Players captain a fragile bathysphere and chart progressively deeper maps of Beachside Bay across a linked roll-and-write campaign. Each session uses dice rolls to navigate, record discoveries, manage limited hull integrity and resources, and mark hazards or treasures on map sheets that change the rules as the campaign advances. The game includes legacy-style elements that introduce new challenges and complexity between plays, while initial sessions require no setup beyond printed sheets. Solo play is supported but the mechanics work for any allowed player count following the campaign structure.
