Deep Regrets An Unfortunate Fishing Game KS Edition

The kickstarter edition of Deep Regrets with the Lamentable Tentacles Mini-Expansion.

A game about reeling progressively more horrifying things out of the depths, managing your madness and pushing your luck at sea.

Deep Regrets is a strategic horror fishing game for 1-5 players, aged 16 and up, running about 30 minutes per player. Decide what to eat, what to sell, what to mount, and how many regrets you're willing to carry as you push yourself too far and spiral toward madness and a thrilling victory at sea… or an untimely end to your career.

Inspired by stories like The Shadow Over Innsmouth, John Langan’s The Fisherman, the Hellboy series and video games like Dredge and Bloodborne (and maybe a dash of Scooby Doo), Deep Regrets is set in a fictional version of early 1900s Europe where Edmund Halley’s Hollow Earth theory just might have been correct. It’s a world of lonely anglers with heavy regrets weighing on consciences and gruesome monstrosities weighing on fishing lines. Unsavory takes on classic British and European folklore haunt the waters. Strange occurrences have upset the natural balance and made the seas a dangerous place for folk who depend on it for their trade.

In Deep Regrets, you'll spend a week moving between sea and port, trying to pull in the most desirable creel of fish and fish-adjacent creatures. You'll need to manage your energy, resources, and regrets and push your luck to pull in the best haul possible. At the end of the game, you'll score the fish you have in hand, the fish you've mounted, and any Fishbucks you have remaining... and the player with the most regrets will lose their most valuable fish.
