Pictures from the oceanic bathyscaphe Neptune XIII seem to prove the existence of an ancient civilization under the sea. Inside a sub-marine canyon this modern technical jewel discovered what is claimed to be vestiges of the mythic civilization of Atlantis. The pictures immediately provoke great excitement among the scientific community and the biggest international foundations have already organized expeditions to recover these mysterious artifacts.
Large research ships try to collect treasures, aided by small submarines. But the competition is fierce, and those who aren't finding enough are up above interfering with the competition's radio reception. It takes a few cards to make sure that your salvage mission proceeds without incident. Up to 60 treasures are sunk on the game board and the players must try to raise as many different ones as they can. The first player to fill the storage bay of their ship or who has the most treasures at the end of the game is the winner. Cards are used to move the submarines, raise treasure, and interfere with radio reception.
