About the game
Gosh Darn Bubbles! is a casual, light-hearted, simple-yet-competitive underwater-themed tabletop card game. The goal of the game is to be the first player with three Treasures. Players earn Treasure by finding and playing Sunken Chests. But watch out for Bubbles! They prevent Sunken Chests from providing Treasure, and do nothing when they are played. The rest of the cards in the game do many awesome things, like help players find Sunken Chests faster, mess with other players’ cards, and provide bonuses/penalties. The waves can get a little wild, but we are sure you will conquer them and discover the riches you seek! —description from the publisher
