Dive into the ocean depths with Naéco, a tactical and immersive card game that puts you in the shoes of marine researchers. Your mission: explore the abysses, observe fascinating species, and advance your scientific research.
Accessible yet strategic, this game offers quick and replayable games thanks to evolving objectives. Combining reflection, optimization, and discovery, Naéco offers an experience that is both fun and educational.

How do you play the game?
Game Setup
Each player receives a hand of "Species" cards and a personal objective. The decks are laid out in a line, with a progression system that unlocks new cards as the game progresses. You start with a play area called your "Ocean."
Gameplay outline
Each turn:
- Play a Species card into your Ocean, following 3 rules: adjacent placement to an existing card, respect for depth, and food chain consistency (+1 or -1 between neighboring cards).
- Then, draw a new card from those available.
- If an objective is reached, you advance and unlock new opportunities.
Every decision counts: the card played and the card drawn directly influence your strategy.
Win/Loss Condition
The game ends when certain decks are depleted or a final objective is reached. The winner is the player with the most points from:
- their scientific progress,
- the balance of their biodiversity,
- completed objectives and majorities.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Anticipate the food chain
Don't play your cards randomly: respect value spreads and plan your future placements to avoid getting stuck.
-
Optimize your ocean's diversity
Seek to balance different species. Varied biodiversity often yields more than overly risky specialization.
-
Prioritize the right goals
Not all objectives are equally valuable depending on your situation. Focus on those that yield the most returns based on your playstyle.
