4 Therefore, it is best to get together on several different occasions to play through all of the missions. The first few missions rarely take more than five minutes to complete. However, later on, you will need more time for each individual MISSION , as they get progressively gameIn this game, all of the cards are distributed to The Crew (the players), and then, in turn order each player plays one of his or her own cards face up in the middle of the table. This playing of one card by each is called the trick. The player who places the card with the highest value wins the trick, but only if that player has followed are five card suits: pink, blue , green, yellow, and submarine cards. Following suit means that each player must follow the suit choice of the first player; , you have to play a card of the same type (color).

5 Only if you do not have a card of this suit may you play a card of a different NOTEIf you have a hard time telling the colors of the cards apart, you can use the following four symbols to help orient yourselves: Each color of the color-suited cards has a symbol assigned to Crew: MISSION deep Sea does follow a storyline, but you can also play certain missions over and over again if they are particularly appealing to you. No two attempts will play out in exactly the same way. Feel free to play in whatever way is most fun for Crew: MISSION deep Sea is a cooperative, MISSION -based trick-taking game. What does that mean?In this column on each page you will find the most important rules presented clearly and briefly. That way, you can quickly pick up the game again even after a long However, the trick can only be won with cards that have followed suit.

6 The card with the highest numeric value in the designated suit wins the trick. A trick that has been won is set aside face down. You may only take a look at the cards from the trick won most recently. During a trick, there is no mandate to play a specific card. If you have multiple cards that you can play, you may play a low card, even though you would have been able to win the trick with a higher card. In other words, you are not forced to win the submarine cards are trump cards. This means that they always win the trick, no matter which other cards are in play. During a color-suited trick, a submarine may only be played if a card in the color suit cannot be played. If a submarine card is played first, this will establish the suit, and like a color suit must be followed if possible.

7 If several submarines are in contention, the one with the highest value the following examples, the card type (or suit) that has to be followed in other words, the card that was the first to be played in the trick is outlined in red:22222222888888885555555533333333In each round, each crew member plays one card in turn. These cards form the trick. The highest card wins the card played first in each trick has to be followed. This applies to color and submarine a player doesn t have the opening suit, they can play any cards of the opening color can win the trick, with the exception of submarines. But there is no obligation to win the are trump cards and will win any trick. If there is more than one submarine card in the trick, the one with the highest value that have been won are set aside face down; only the most recently played trick can be looked at and 6 both follow the color yellow.

8 8 is the highest, so it wins the follows the color green. 5 is higher, so it wins the trick. 9 has the highest value, but it doesn t follow the color green, so it cannot important rule in the game is that you cannot share information about the cards in your hand. You are not allowed to show, tell, or indicate to the other crew members what cards you have. There is, however, another way to communicate in the form of sonar tokens. Each player has one sonar token, which can be deployed exactly once per MISSION . It may only be used before a trick, and never during it. If you fail in one of your MISSION attempts, of course, you may use it again in your next attempt. If there are task cards in the game, you must first divide these among yourselves before you are allowed to communicate.

9 Task cards will be explained on page Rules of thumb for communication: If there is something you only know because you know it from the cards in your own hand, you may not talk about one communication per crew member per MISSION attemptNo communication until after task distribution, and always before a trick never during it3 follows the color blue . 7 is higher and would win the trick. The 1 submarine card is a trump card, however, and therefore wins the trick. 2 and 4 both follow the 3 submarine. The highest submarine in the trick is the 4 , which therefore this game, the goal is always to have the right players win the right tricks. To do that, you will really need to you want to communicate, take a color card from your hand and place it face up in front of you so everyone can see it.

10 This card remains part of your hand, so it can still be played as you normally would. The only difference is every other crew member now also knows what the card is. Then, place your sonar token green-side-up on the card in accordance with the instructions below in order to convey important information to your crew members:> At the top, if it is your highest card of this color.> In the middle, if it is your only card of this color.> At the bottom, if it is your lowest card of this of these conditions must be met, otherwise you can t choose the card for the purpose of communicating anything. Submarine cards can never be used for communication!6 cannot communicate anything, since it is neither the highest, nor the lowest, nor the only yellow card in the hand.
