Nautilus
Players compete to become the Nautilus’s second officer by proving skill in five domains: Science, Exploration, Navigation, Engineering and War. Each of six rounds places five Domain cards on the board while players draft and play five Diver cards with values from 1–14. Played Diver values on each side of the submarine determine how Domain cards are allocated between players. Special cards provide one-use abilities that alter plays or scoring. At game end, the player with the highest score in a domain claims that field; the first player to win a majority of the five fields wins the game.
