Bermuda (2015)

About this game

Off into the deep! From wrecks to riches, when you hunt for treasures in the dark deep in Bermuda, you need to take a long breath. But beware because Neptune's ex-mermaid also lies in wait for a good catch — and it seems many a diver has disappeared from the seabed. Ahoy there! Bermuda is a cooperative game in which all players dive together. You play against time. And if you are wondering why there is no hourglass in the game - it's because you yourself are the timer! This is how it works: Once you have taken your unsorted Diving cards in your hands, one of you gives the signal for diving. On "3", all takes a deep breath and simultaneously start to lay out cards. You may keep doing this as long as you - all of you, together - hold your breath. As soon as one of you takes a breath, he falls into the siren's clutches. The round ends immediately.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
