About the game
FLOAT: From the Deep is a fast-paced tabletop game where players find themselves lost at sea, battling monsters from below and attempting to outsmart and outlast their fellow survivors. With only 7 days to make it to the island in the foggy distance, it’s sink, swim, or be devoured by the next creature from the deep. Players draw and play cards, roll dice for battling, and manage their resources and crew through their player stations. The game ends when either all members but one have been eliminated, or once all surviving parties make it to the island. They have 7 days (21 rounds) to clear and make it to the island or become shark bait. Players win by surviving the terrors from the deep and making it safely to the island.
