A GAME OF UNDERWATER INTRIGUE

Digital art of a parrotfish eating coral

Rooted in Real Reef Science

Designed by coral scientists and funded by the National Science Foundation,Benthos' mechanics reflect real interactions between the beautiful but sometimes brutal ecology of tropical reefs, the microbes that infect or symbiose with them, and human activities that can shift the balance of power on the reef.


Exciting

Dominate the ocean floor while eating your enemies with your favorite sea creatures - from Sharks to Spiny Lobsters


Portable

Benthos is an intense deckbuilding game in a small, portable box.


Dynamic

In Benthos, change is the norm. A coral-devouring Bristleworm you don't deal with now may be larger next round, and might even reproduce.

Should you eat it now with a Queen Triggerfish? Or is it more important to use Ancestral Knowledge develop Awareness on the local island to empower later efforts to use Radical Decarbonization and combat irreversible Global Warming?
