Welcome to the annual Aquarium Festival!

At this grand event, aquarium shops from all over showcase their finest collections, each trying to stand out among fierce competitors.

Observe how other shops present their displays, adjust the composition of your aquatic collection, and seize the right moment to take advantage of sponsor support to make your exhibit shine.

Among representatives from aquariums around the world, only the shop that demonstrates the most impressive collection will earn the prestigious title of “Aquarium Tycoon.”

"Aquarium Festival" is a ladder climbing game supported by shared dice.

During each competition, players take turns playing card combinations, gradually increasing the strength of the current play to gain the advantage. At key moments, players may also use the shared dice in the center of the table to help complete their combinations.

A full game consists of several competitions. In each competition, the first player to play all of their cards wins that competition.

The first player to win three competitions wins the game.
