Expedition 3: Octopus

menu

OCTOPUS

Each player starts with 1 Octopus tile on their ocean boards when playing Expedition 3.

Octopus does not score points!

At the end of the submersible phase, players must move their Octopus 2 vertices (triangle spots). The Octopus cannot visit the same vertex in a round, and it cannot share its final vertex destination with the submersible, but it can move through the submersible. When the Octopus’ movement ends, all 3 tiles adjacent to the Octopus are flipped.

Point of interest tokens are not flipped by the Octopus.

Example - It’s the end of the submersible phase and this player must choose where the Octopus moves. The Octopus must move 2 vertices. If the player chooses to move the Octopus this way, it will flip a single tile.

Example - If the player chooses to move the Octopus this way (through the submersible), it will flip 2 tiles but will not flip the point of interest token.

Example - If the player chooses to move the Octopus this way, it will not flip any tiles.
