You are divers in the Caribbean and competing for the best underwater shots in a local competition. Every turn you take one card from the middle, play it into your tableau and possibly score points (pearls).
The twist: Even after scoring a card for being part of a set you can use actions to score the same card a second or even a third time.

a) If you move just one step, take an oxygen token (because you didn't dive that long).
b) When moving two steps nothing else happens.
c) You may move even more than two steps on your turn. Spend one oxygen token for each further step.
The game has three different kinds of scoring.
You score groups of adjacent cards with the same attributes by taking a pearl token and putting it onto one of those attributes. Attributes to be scored:
a) 3 animals of the same kind next to each other (5 different animals on cards)
b) 3 animals of the same color next to each other (4 different colors on animals)
c) 3 of the same plants next to each other (4 kinds of plants on cards)
Example: You score this combination by putting a pearl on the area of ONE of the three cards you score. In this case you put a pearl on one of the green animals in the upper part of the card. Some rules to consider - It is possible to score multiple groups of attributes on your turn. - Attributes with a pearl on them can not be scored again and those attributes do not count for groups. - Only one pearl per area is allowed (equals two pearls per card)
At the end of your turn you may take one of the openly displayed mission cards. Important: You may only take a card of a color you do not already possess a card of.
The game ends when each player has x cards in front of them where “x” is 9/8/7/6 cards for 2/3/4/5 players.
1. Now have a look at the end scoring card and give those points to the two players who fulfilled
it the best. If two players are tied, each player gets half of the sum of the card's points.
2. Each player counts the pearls on cards and mission cards. The player with the most pearls/points
is the winner. In case of a tie the player with the most left-over O2 tokens wins. If there is
still a tie players share the victory.
