A nagy kékség board game

The Great Blue is a cooperative trick-taking card game for two players, in which you sail a ship across stormy seas toward the dangerous final point of the ocean while trying to avoid the devastating attacks of the Kraken. By playing suitable card combinations you move the ship forward or defeat the monster, and success depends on understanding each other with few words.

Each round consists of tricks, and in every trick each player plays one card. You may talk freely between rounds, but not during card dealing or while the last trick is taken. At the start of each round, players secretly look at their cards and pass one to their partner before viewing the card they receive. A game lasts up to five rounds and takes about 20 minutes.

The game is designed for two players aged 11 and up. The box contains 40 cards, three boards, five markers and 27 tiles. Victory is shared, but failure means the crew ends up at the bottom of the sea.
