Description
xImmerse yourself in the East Australian Current as sea turtles glide among coral and schools of fish. Australis, a Thames & Kosmos title, invites you to craft a living underwater ecosystem by drafting dice that unlock distinct actions around feeding, settlement, and motion. The sense of motion, cool ocean air, and tactile dice work together to create a vivid tabletop experience you can enjoy with family or friends.
In each round, you choose dice that reveal different possibilities. Some dice help you feed growing fish by adding food cubes; others let you settle coral to strengthen your reef, while other dice push your sea turtles further down the current to access new opportunities. The round culminates in an exciting dice showdown that can shift the lead in an instant. While higher quality dice offer better odds, luck isn’t everything, keeping every round tense and engaging.
Australis is designed to be approachable for newcomers yet offers meaningful layers of strategy for seasoned players. The ocean theme comes to life through lush artwork and a clear, tactile drafting process, making it easy to grasp who is ahead and what moves will shape the next round. The game scales smoothly from 2 to 4 players and works well for quick sessions or longer game nights.
Two well-balanced lists below highlight the core decisions you’ll face and why Australis stands out for many groups:
- Draft dice each round to feed fish, settle coral, or swim further with your sea turtles.
- Use the results to trigger actions, grow your ecosystem engine, and chase strategic points.
- End each round with a tense dice showdown that can swing the score in surprising ways.
- Manage risk, adapt to opponents’ choices, and adjust your plan as the current shifts.
- Accessible and family-friendly with a welcoming ocean theme and clear objectives.
- Multiple viable strategies, from reef-building to rapid exploration, to keep gameplay fresh.
- High re-playability, driven by evolving dice combinations and evolving round-end showdowns.
Whether you’re gathering for a relaxed evening or hosting a game night, Australis offers a balanced mix of strategy, interaction, and storytelling. With 2-4 players and roughly a 60-minute playtime, it adapts to diverse groups and schedules. Dive in and explore how small decisions ripple through the current to shape your final score.
