Which means the time has come to get your hands on the throne and its privileges! Try to gain influence over the various kingdoms of the ocean by gaining support from the council of Lords, affiliating with the right Allies, and controlling key locations. Only the one with the most influence is able to rule the Abyssal people! Abyss is a game of development, combination and collection in which players try to take control of strategic locations in an underwater city. To achieve this, players must develop on three levels: first they must win allies in an auction. Second, they must recruit Lords by turning in their required sets of these allies. And third, they must use these Lords to gain control of locations, sacrificing their Lords' powers in the process. The game ends either once a player recruits their 7th Lord or once the Court needs to be refilled and it can't be. Points are earned from locations controlled, Lords recruited, and other incidentals and the player with the most wins!
