About the game
Sea Scroll is a quick-playing, deceptively strategic set collection card game where players will guide schools of fish from the Reef, or the central discard area, to their personal Habitat to form schools of fish, or card sets in front of them. At the end of the game, each player will combine their schools with fish cards remaining in their hands to score! Each species of fish is evaluated to see who has collected the most of that type fish. The player with the most of each species scores point equal to that fish’s value, while all other players lose points equal to its value! Collect, Curate and Combine beautiful fish to emerge the victor! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Sea Scroll supports 2–6 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 Sea Scroll is 15 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 Sea Scroll 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.
Sea Scroll has a complexity rating of 1.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
