Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.40. This is a 2 - 4 player board game published in 2019. It's the Kickstarter Edition of Wreck Raiders. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. Dive into the sparkling sea to retrieve exotic treasures from a pirate - shipwreck - filled seafloor. Send your navers deep, but be cautious; getting too close to other navers means they can share in the haul. Collect lost loot and beached baubles to build museum exhibits and amazing aquariums. Save some treasures for your personal collection! Wreck Raiders features an innovative dice - drafting worker placement system. Pick a die from the pool and send a naver to a board spot with that number. Remember, the spot you choose can benefit nearby navers, friendly or not. Decide whether to risk sharing the haul or find a way to get extra loot. Display treasures for museum exhibits or send them to your vault for high scores. Visit the beach to gather washed - up baubles and build cool aquariums (all sea - creature cardboard tiles are ethically treated and released). At the game's end, earn coins from your exhibits, vault, and aquariums. The player with the most coins wins! We're happy to support campaigns to offer games like Wreck Raiders on TheGameSteward.

To play Wreck Raiders, first set up the game board with all the pieces like the seafloor area, beach, and navers. The game is for 2 to 4 players. Start by choosing a die from the pool. Then, send one of your navers to a spot on the board with the number on the die you picked. Be careful when choosing a spot because any navers in the adjacent spots, whether they belong to you or your opponents, can benefit from your choice. Try to balance getting the treasure you want and not letting rivals get too much. As you play, collect lost loot from the seafloor and beached baubles from the beach. Use these items to build museum exhibits and aquariums. You can also save some treasures in your vault for high - scoring opportunities. Remember, all the sea - creature cardboard tiles are just for the game and are meant to be treated ethically in the game's context. When the game ends, count the coins you've earned from your exhibits, vault, and aquariums. The player with the most coins wins. After each game, make sure to store all the pieces in a safe place. Keep the cardboard tiles flat to avoid bending. If the dice get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a dry cloth.
