snorkeling
There’s nothing like SNORKELING to discover the wonders of the ocean. Stay underwater as long as possible to swim among Coral, Turtles, Lanternfish… But the other divers only want one thing: to enjoy the beauty all for themselves and force you back to the surface!
Snorkeling is a card-shedding game where players play cards onto others to score the most points.
On your turn, you may play a card that is exactly one value higher than the top card on the center pile. Alternatively, you can play one or more cards that match the color of the top card on the center pile, regardless of their value.
After playing cards to the center pile, you may then play exactly one card onto any other player’s personal pile if your card’s value is exactly one less than the top card on their pile. The color does not matter for this step.
The round ends immediately when any player receives a value 0 card on their personal pile. At that point, each player scores points equal to the value of the top card in their pile, which are added to their previous total. The first player to reach or exceed 6 points wins the game. If there is a tie, another round is played.

Game Overview
Dive into a vibrant coral reef that comes to life right before your eyes as you play. Thematically, you act as an explorer striving to discover the most magnificent schools of fish in an ever-changing underwater environment. Mechanically, players take turns placing tiles to expand a shared reef, strategically connecting corals and fish to form large color groups and secure valuable majorities.
Goal of the Game
The objective is to collect the most victory points by strategically placing tiles. Points are awarded for contiguous areas of the same color, surrounding fish with matching corals, and completing specific objective cards.
Gameplay
Preparation
- All tiles (fish and corals) are shuffled face down.
- Each player draws a starting hand (typically 3 tiles).
- A starting tile is placed in the center of the table.
A Turn
On your turn, you must play exactly 1 tile from your hand to the reef. The following rules apply:
- Placement: At least one side of the new tile must touch a tile already in play.
- Colors & Symbols: It is beneficial to connect matching colors to expand your scoring zones.
- Drawing: At the end of the turn, draw a new tile from the facedown stack.
Special Features
- Fish: Fish grant bonus points when they are completely surrounded by corals of the exact same color.
- Bubbles: Some tiles feature bubbles that can trigger special actions or act as multipliers.
Scoring Elements
| Element | Points / Effect |
|---|---|
| Color Groups | The largest contiguous area of each color is scored. |
| Fish Bonus | A fish fully enclosed by matching corals doubles the points for that specific area. |
| Objectives | Players who meet the conditions of public objective cards (e.g., "Longest Chain") gain extra points. |
Game End & Scoring
- The game ends when all tiles have been placed or no more legal moves can be made.
- Points from color areas, fish bonuses, and objectives are totaled.
- The player with the highest overall score wins the game.
