Deep Sea Adventure Full 4p Play Through

[@nelbr]

I think you should have piled the treasures that fell to the bottom in 3 chips groups.

[@Daley63]

correct

[@atomicpasta7073]

Yellow had the greatest comeback story ever

[@simonmunden5046]

Just got this game and was having trouble with how the movement worked. Your video really helped, thanks!

[@hazelhalliday2974]

I've seen friends playing this game and they've thoroughly enjoyed it. Watching your play through, my immediate thought is why did green ditch his treasure on the third run? He knew he couldn't make it back, so surely the tactical thing to do would have been to pick up more treasures in an effort to deplete the air supply faster, so that nobody made it back. That way he could have secured second place.

[@JonGetsGames]

+Hazel Halliday Hmm you do make a solid point, in retrospect I believe that would have been the best option. Thanks for mentioning it :)

[@monkeywrench67]

This is such a pleasure to watch; the editing and pace is excellent! I'm sure it's a LOT of work, so thank you. I look forward to binge-watching your other videos.

[@JonGetsGames]

Thanks! I have to admit the quality was not so great in the early days but I hope you enjoy the videos all the same :)

[@tsmcdona3003]

Had to buy this after watching. What an awesome little micro game!

[@supergirlfootballer]

Thanks for this! Just played it for the first time and didn't have any of the tactics down 😅 much better now I've seen this!

[@AnthonyFrancisJones]

Great video. Just got the came and it did not cost much at all compared with other games. At least you explained that once a player has made it back they stop playing but the others continue for as many goes each until the air runs out. That was not clearly explained in other videos or the rules in other words "once you are home safely you may have to watch others playing a number of times each and you do nothing during this - miss your turns - strangely not boring as schadenfreude creeps in!

[@bushibayushi]

What a great little gem, I've bought it immediately after seeing this playthrough ;). Thank you Jon!

[@actualol]

Really nice playthrough. Well shot, and I liked your calm, clear and concise explanation. I feel you on the price - I really want to get Fake Artist in New York but with shipping to the UK it's a crazy amount to pay for a box of coloured pens and tiny whiteboards.

[@JonGetsGames]

+Actualol The boxes for these games are SO tiny as well. I paid something like $34 for Deep Sea Adventure knowing it was a small game but was still shocked at how tiny it was when it arrived. I think I grabbed Fake Artist from amazon for something like $20 and it is quite abit for something so easily replicated with $5 of art store supplies.

[@actualol]

I think the thing that bugs me the most about Fake Artist is that they don't even tell you what to draw! That's half a drawing game, in my book. It's like releasing Spyfall with a bunch of blank cards and leaving you to come up with the locations. As a rule, I love tiny boxes from a storage point of view. I feel like Deep Sea Adventure is just tiny for the sake of it, and would be a bit nicer if it had more heft. Same reason why I've not gravitated towards the Tiny Epic series. Tiny components for the sake of it isn't appealing. Whereas, a small deck box with full-size cards, is.

[@sarahneale6089]

Got totally confused trying to understand the written instructions. Thanks to your play through, now feel confident to teach my 3 boys. Many thanks.

[@JonGetsGames]

I'm glad you found it helpful! I hope you enjoy it with your kids :)

[@MarkusFlorence]

Thank you so much, this full gameplay definitively helps to fully understand the rules and mechanics of the game

[@3GOD]

Cool game. Looks like a lot of fun! Also, nice job on the video. I like how you speed up certain actions once things are familiar.

[@JonGetsGames]

Joel Oakley With these videos i'm trying to make them as short as possible while still being complete, so the fast forward tool in Final Cut Pro is my friend :)

[@smoothcriminal28]

Good video as usual John. This looks like a perfect family game.

[@Taochok]

Hi, I THINK (not sure) that rules says that you must have at least one treasure to start going up AND you can't get rid of your last treasure, so I think in third round green could not get rid of his last treasure (21:52). Great explanation! and a VERY fun game to laugh playing

[@opheliedoussault7912]

Thank you sooo much, my boyfriend and I managed to play the game thanks to your very clear explanation! Keep going 😊

[@eirikjohnsbraten6370]

Love your format. Keep up the good work. :) Thanks.

[@jamie240274]

I think you stack the sunken treasure

[@pontiuspilot00]

I couldn't believe that I found a English retail edition here in the US at a local Barnes & Noble bookstore. Only cost me about twenty dollars which is very surprising granted that I've seen this game costing a lot more than that on the main BBG store website. I was also amazed on how small the package is yet knowing from reading reviews that there's a lotta game packed inside. Being a visual learner and being that you've put up this video show a good play of the game on here, I'll have an easier time explaining the rules to others. Hope I can get a few plays under my belt where I live at, which is a psychiatric specialty nursing home. We need more games like this one in the world :)

[@JonGetsGames]

I'm glad this video has helped you out and that you got a reasonably priced copy! Hope you enjoy it :)

[@JustRosieStorm]

Thank you! Great play through and super helpful!

[@tyMcClark]

bought this in Yellow Submarine in Tokyo and I was freaking out not being able to know how to play. This video was awesome, some times the english rules don't really make a lot of sense hehehe.

[@kosterix123]

played it with 6, it's also fun. great that you go all the way!

[@mererfinblindguardian2105]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@dondake8072]

this video really help me. really good play through! Bought it!

[@JonGetsGames]

Awesome, that's great to hear. I hope you enjoy it :)

[@c.bergman7465]

Good review, Thank you very much. Nice game. Bought it.

[@aransfilms9949]

15:37 if I was yellow I would take the 1 artefact as then there would be less spaces to get down making it easier to get the artefacts in the deep.

[@1NaturalMystik1]

saw the game on amazon was curious how it played, push-you're-luck games can be fun but this game really needed more theme.

[@revimfadli4666]

I wonder what would be a good way to add more theming to it

[@NoNameC68]

I'm a bit upset green dropped their treasure. It would have been a glorious comeback for yellow and blue.

[@mestregaea]

great playthrough jon

[@nguyenlequyen1986]

A big Thank to you for detail instruction of game from beginning to the end. without you it would be hard to me to understand 😍😍

[@wetwillyccma]

Looks like a great game. So tiny. I want it but BGG store sold out fast. They want way too much getting it from Japan $33 that includes shipping. You did a fantastic job explaining it. Keep up the great work.

[@JonGetsGames]

wetwillyccma Yeah... I think I paid something like $36 when i bought it direct from Japan. Worth that much money? Hard to say, but it has been lots of fun and has seen quite abit of play time so far.

[@a-mvan7038]

It was helpful, I couldn't make any sense out of the instructions

[@troylow6229]

Why did green ditch his one single token at 21:55?

[@joelcole161]

What are your impressions of this game with 2 players? Sidenote to other viewers - Amazon.com currently has it available for $22 US (prime eligible).

[@JonGetsGames]

I've never played it at 2p, but I imagine it wouldn't be all that great. A big part of the game is jumping over your opponents and I think much of the tension could be lost.

[@jmcole3736]

Thanks; I assumed that might be the case.

[@kosterix123]

Joel Cole it's a party game. invite friends :)

[@benl.9173]

I have to disagree. I watched a german let's play with just two players and the tension was fantastic, they both enjoyed it and it was a pleasure to watch their game. I am playing two player games all the time and this one totally convinced me.

[@Warriorking.1963]

Any chance of a link to the site through which you buy Japanese games?

[@JonGetsGames]

I bought this so long ago I don't remember how I got it.

[@vladthemage]

Good job, i'm buying it right now :)

[@jaysousa7433]

Chester round 3 it was 2 and you only had one oxygen supply red should of lost it

[@Hunszi]

This game is a lot of fun, just it`s impossible to find...

[@Indiana_Knows]

H H at target today!

[@danhle1032]

so if i "die" and have 2 runes, then i stack the two at the end, but if the next player dies too and has 2 runes, does he stack those 2 after mine, or does he take one of them and put them on my stack of 2 to make a 3 stack and then start a new stack? thanks your videos are great!

[@JonGetsGames]

I believe you keep making stacks of 3 before starting new stacks.

[@thecardboardstacker]

Thanks for the play through. Now, where can I get one?

[@JonGetsGames]

Cardboard Stacker Unsure, I picked it up about 4 days before they went out of stock in Japan. It seems to be getting a decent amount of hype, and another Oink game "Dungeons of Mandom" was recently picked up and rereleased by Ello so it's possible another publisher will give it wider distribution.

[@thecardboardstacker]

Thanks for the input.

[@pmrbatista1]

How does the 3 stacks work? Shouldn't the drown divers stack chips in multiples of 3?

[@JonGetsGames]

+Pedro Batista I'm sorry but I don't understand your question.

[@pmrbatista1]

+JonGetsGames For example: If there are 3 divers left outside and no more air. Each diver has 2 treasures. Aren't you supposed to place 2 stacks of 3 treasures in the bottom of the track?

[@JonGetsGames]

+Pedro Batista Yep that is correct, looks like I did mess that up at around 16:14. I've corrected it, thanks!

[@Leventa24]

lol at the very end Red didn't use up 2 oxygen like he should have.

[@JonGetsGames]

Leventa24 can you give me a time stamp? It appears to me that I did move the token for the last turn of the game.

[@Leventa24]

JonGetsGames 23:57 specifically. Upon reflection though I suppose that with only one mark of oxygen left and two ruins tokens, you only take the last one away and get to try for it anyways instead of automatically having to be hauled into the boat. I apologize if thats the case.

[@JonGetsGames]

Leventa24 Ah yeah, that is my interpretation of how to play out that situation.

[@dtopa7524]

reminds me of zombie dice

[@moyo6619]

Thanks alot

[@non-alphagamer3618]

New game - every time he says "Important to note", loses 10 points.

[@bf90rono]

Damn a little depressed now. 2013 i came up and wrote down the same idea for a fast push your luck game, the rules and concept is almost identical except mine would be called Deep Sea Hunt.

[@capo3rdfret]

what were the differences?

[@manudepfyffer392]

Is anyone else trying to comprehend how this game is meant for 8 year olds? Dont have a f**king clue whats going on.......

[@DominikaMusic]

It really depends on the kid, my 7-year old is an avid board games player, after 3 min of explanation she understood it and won with me...
