About the game
A promotional expansion for Octopus' Garden. Add 1 Diver into the tile pool for each player. Before Planting newly bought tiles the Diver picks all your Garbage and Relics and then swims away. The Diver and all Garbage and Relic tiles (just bought and in your Garden) are removed from the game. Garbage and Relic tiles with a Sea Star on them are still picked up but the Sea Star tile is left on the Garden. The player then places his remaining newly bought tiles.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Octopus' Garden: Diver for ages 12 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.
