About the game
Embark on an exhilarating journey like never before! Equipped with cutting-edge technology and a state-of-the-art diving submarine, you stand at the precipice of a legendary discovery: the enigmatic Atlantis. Finding Atlantis is a competitive deduction and exploration game with unique app-generated puzzles for 1-4 players. On a turn, you play two cards from your hand and resolve the action on these cards, moving your submarines on the map; inspecting the ocean floor via periscope, sonar, and radiograph; exploring for artifacts or stealing those artifacts from opponents; dropping mines to slow down those opponents; and surfacing to reset your deck. You track your findings on a hidden map, trying to be the first to discover all spaces of Atlantis. Finding Atlantis features an app that offers more than a million distinct and challenging sea maps, along with an integrated tutorial and a U-Bot mode that allows for solo play against an AI or AI-controlled opponents that can be added to a multiplayer game.
