Atlanteum is a board game released in 2027 for 1–4 players, 40–80 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Gunho Kim and Jaewoo Bang and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Set Collection, and Area Majority / Influence.
In Atlanteum, you lead an expedition into a mysterious undersea civilization believed to be the lost city of Atlantis. Steer your submarine into the perfect position, deploy your divers, and uncover hidden relics. Add them to your private collection or donate them to the museum to shape your strategy. Carefully manage your oxygen to unlock powerful actions at the right moment, and combine card abilities to create clever combos. RONDEL MEETS WORKER PLACEMENT - Steer your submarine around the rondel to gather resources, then deploy your divers to the connected action spaces. Plan your route carefully to get exactly where you need to be. EVERY BREATH COUNTS - Spend oxygen to enter the rondel space you want, or save it to unleash the most powerful actions. Manage every breath and seize the right moment to make your move. YOUR COLLECTION? OR THE MUSEUM? - Every relic presents a choice. Keep it in your private collection to use its unique power, or donate it to the museum to gain more artifact icons. RACE TO RESTORE THE TEMPLE - Place pillars to restore the temple. The higher you place, the more your collected sets are worth! Will you push for first, or build a bigger collection? THE ART OF DONATION - Your donations shape which artifacts are most valuable at the end of the game. Follow the icons your rivals are chasing, or invest in the ones you already have. —description from publisher
Atlanteum supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Atlanteum is 40–80 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Atlanteum for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
