The previously lifeless, dark, cold waters of the northern polar cap has opened up due to the water changes, and beautiful creatures have emerged.īut these creatures are barbarian tribes, and our young kingdoms have to interact with these new creatures. But in Cold Waters, there is a new development - the volcanic eruption changed and heated up the world wide sea flows. A volcanic eruption affected the world, and divided the seas into four independent kingdoms. We learn more about the story about the world of Aquatica. It includes new goals, new creatures, new kings, and new locations - and of course, new mantas and decks in a new color (white).īut, the new expansion is more than just cards. (All pictures taken from screenshots during the presentation, which is still up on their channel.)Ĭold Waters comes with enough components to play with five players now. Ivan Tuzovsky, the designer of the original, participated in a demo of the game’s development at the Cosmodrome Games Twitch channel. (Thanks Board Boys!)Ĭosmodrome Games showed off the new cards and mechanics for the expansion to its hit game, called Cold Waters at Gen Con Online this weekend. Thankfully, an arsenal of wire-guided torpedoes, anti-ship and cruise missiles and the occasional SEAL team are on board to keep the Iron Curtain at bay.Aquatica has been one of my favorite games to play in person or online since being introduced to it at Board Game Geek Con 2019.

You will be tasked with intercepting convoys, amphibious landings, insertion missions and battling it out with enemy warships, submarines and aircraft.

Inspired by the 1988 classic “Red Storm Rising”, command a nuclear submarine in a desperate attempt to prevent “mutually assured destruction” when the Cold War gets hot and WWIII begins. Do you silently close in to torpedo the landing ships and escape during the resulting chaos? Or strike with long-range missiles but risk counterattack from the enemy escorts? Have you detected them all, could another submarine be out there listening for you? Has the hunter become the hunted? Will you survive the Cold Waters?

After tracking a Soviet landing force bound for Iceland it is time to plan your attack.
