{"product_id":"aquaria-board-game","title":"Aquaria Board Game","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhere Civilizations Rise Beneath the Waves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's something quietly compelling about building a world that no one on the surface will ever see. Aquaria drops players into the depths of an ancient underwater realm, where rival civilizations compete to expand their territory, harvest precious resources, and unlock the secrets of a forgotten ocean world. Every decision carries weight — a well-timed expansion can tip the balance, while a neglected border leaves you vulnerable to encroachment from neighbours who have their own plans for the deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Capstone Games, known for bringing thoughtful and visually striking titles to the hobby, Aquaria blends territory control with resource management in a setting that feels genuinely unlike anything else on the table. Players develop their underwater civilizations across a modular map, managing the delicate balance between growth and sustainability as they navigate a world that rewards careful planning over aggressive sprawl. The included Microflora Dial Promo adds an additional layer of depth to resource tracking, making this edition a particularly complete version of the game straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Strategic Game Nights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAquaria plays one to four players and hits its stride with two to three at the table, where the tension of competing civilizations stays tight without overwhelming the map. Recommended for ages fourteen and up, it sits comfortably in the medium-weight category — there's enough strategic depth to reward experienced players, but the core loop is accessible enough that a patient newcomer can find their footing within the first round or two. Expect sessions to run between sixty and ninety minutes once players know the game. This is the kind of title that earns a regular spot on strategy night rotations, and it handles solo play for those evenings when the group can't make it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production values here are worth noting. Capstone Games put genuine care into the visual identity of Aquaria — the artwork evokes the eerie, luminous beauty of deep ocean ecosystems, and the component quality matches the ambition of the theme. The modular board keeps each session feeling distinct, and the Microflora Dial Promo included with this edition elevates resource management from a simple token system to something more tactile and satisfying. This copy is new and sealed in original shrink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapstone Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2–3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60–90 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroflora Dial Promo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Capstone Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44085421244504,"sku":"45365844","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/anBn.jpg?v=1780098124","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/aquaria-board-game","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
