Wreck Raiders

Players send divers to a reef-strewn seafloor to recover treasures from shipwrecks and washed-up baubles, then use those finds to build museum exhibits, stock a private vault, or assemble decorative aquariums. A dice-drafting worker-placement mechanism determines where a diver may go: pick a die from the pool, then place a diver on any space matching that number. Spaces also benefit adjacent divers, so placement can help or enable rivals and requires tactical trade-offs. Treasure and beach finds become resources for exhibits, vault scoring, or aquarium construction; at game's end players score coins from their displays and collections to determine the winner.
