Pick a Pen: Reefs

Players roll five colored pencils, choose one, and mark spaces on an individual dive sheet; other players then draft remaining pencils and take the indicated action. Pencils show symbols on their faces that determine how many steps to color and whether the route must proceed straight or may turn. Each sheet contains colored dive locations; a color can only have one route, so players either start a new route at an empty location or extend an existing one. Treasure chests and coins on routes award bonus markings that count toward endgame triggers. Sheets come in three difficulty levels, with higher levels adding elements like vortices and propellers that alter how routes are colored.
