Flotilla (EN) Toys and Games

ORIGINAL GAME IN ENGLISH: In 1954, with an explosion over 100,000 times more powerful than even the wildest estimates, the Castle Bravo nuclear test obliterated Bikini Atoll and ruptured the Earth down to its mantle. As water levels rose in the aftermath, the remnants of humanity fled their homes and took to the sea. World leadership came together to build a massive Flotilla, mankind’s last bastion of civilization. Now, ten years after the disaster, the Flotilla is home to even the very last of us. The Flotilla features two distinct and interconnected gameplay modes, as you attempt to outwit your opponents in bringing prosperity to humanity's new home. You begin the game as a "Sinkside" Fleet Commander, commissioned by world leaders to explore the new face of the ocean, scour the depths for resources, and rescue any survivors you come across. At any point in the game, you may choose to turn "Skyside," by selling your skiffs, and leaving your seafaring life behind to now grow the Flotilla itself. The choice of whether or when to move from a "Sinkside" explorer to a "Skyside" settlement defines the very core Flotilla experience. They represent two similar but distinct game experiences, utilizing the same game components, seamlessly intertwined among all players. If you switch, you'll flip over all of your accumulated game components, watching your crew grow into new roles with new art for the same characters, while finding entirely new uses for your ocean tiles and resources, and beginning to trade with the "Sinkside" players as you go after new objectives. As players turn "Skyside," different niches are filled, forever changing the game's economy. Mastering this ebb and flow will be critical if you’re to shape the new face of humanity! As a "Sinksider," you will explore the ocean with your skiffs, pulling some of the 92 hexagon-shaped ocean tiles out of a bag and arranging them to help you effectively collect resources and discover valuable artifacts from the sunken civilization, all while trying to avoid toxic radiation left from the disaster. You'll dive for supplies, rolling a pool of custom dive dice that vary based on the depth level of your skiffs. You will also carefully manage your resources, trading them on the open market for currency that you can use to buy more skiffs and outposts, or stockpile them for when you turn "Skyside." As a "Skysider," you will use your resources to build an expansive network of watercraft and docks, using the "Skyside" of your ocean tiles. Your divers will also have new jobs as researchers, rolling custom, multicolored research dice, to discover new technologies that allow the Flotilla to manage a growing population. You'll also build Sonar stations, making life a little easier for the "Sinksiders" still out exploring the unknown, while the profit is a little stronger for yourself. On both sides, you'll also grow your relationships with the four different governing guilds, each giving you unique bonuses and a more powerful crew. The players with the strongest relationships will also earn valuable points at the end of the game! The components in Flotilla are unique, immersive, and interconnected. Your skiffs will be able to actually carry up to four resource barrels and come in a unique shape for each player color. Artifact tokens slot into matching spaces in a double-layered hub board and art on the ocean tile lines up to create a unique layout for your growing Flotilla each time you play. In Flotilla, you'll find significant strategic depth and variety, while giving players the freedom to tell their own story. Will you build the Flotilla by being the first to go to Skyside, or stay Sinkside for the entire game, becoming the most powerful sailor of them all?
