Why It's On The List
- Games like Endeavor: Deep Sea are the poster children for designers taking a second (or third!) pass at their designs... and a stunning argument for the power of excellent graphic design (both art & iconography).
Tips & Tricks:
- You cannot ignore the track that lets you recover action discs from your crew members... getting hamstrung on actions because your people are "tired" is a quick way to lose.
- Each scenario has different scoring bonuses - pay attention to those choices as the first/second place positions will often be the difference between winning and losing.
Extras
- My copy of the deluxe edition FINALLY arrived just before Thanksgiving. (Braeden & I had played it at Gulf Games last summer and I promptly came home and ordered a copy from Game Steward. BTW, a unsolicited plug for Game Steward’s customer service – they dealt with my questions and concerns quickly and kindly as the waiting dragged on.)
- The real measure of how much I like Endeavor – it took me eight games to finally beat an opponent (yes, the solo system or a real live human). And I still enjoyed each and every game… so much so that it was #3 on my Best New (to me!) Games of 2025 list.
- Why, yes, I backed the upcoming Uncharted Waters expansion.
