Frontline Defence

Frontline Defense is a standalone mini-game of Ocean Crisis. The new chapter inherits the original one’s co-op game style, with a lighter and quicker dice-driven game play. Throughout the game, players will work together on waste cleanup and develop environmentally friendly techniques. Together, we can protect the ocean by defending the frontline.

Within a game, all players must work together to survive through 6 rounds, preventing the overwhelming amount of garbage from the city floating to the ocean. There are 4 phases in each round:

Setup Phase: At the beginning of each round, setup Garbage Tiles according to Round Cards.

Setup Phase: At the beginning of each round, setup Garbage Tiles according to Round Cards.
Planning Phase: Players place all their meeples along the River or on faceup Enhancement Cards at the same time. Each card can only have one meeple on it.
Action Phase: After placing all the players’ meeples, perform the following actions in order:
- Eco Movement: Each meeple placed on a faceup Enhancement Card can acquire the card. Enhancement Cards can be used during the Trash Cleanup period.
- Garbage Cleanup: Each meeple along the River will have a chance to clean up a Garbage Tile with a dice roll. Starting from River Section A, roll the die if there’s a meeple, and choose a garbage to be fully cleaned (cleared) or reduced (flip over). Retrieve the meeple after each cleanup.
- If there are any Ocean Vacuums activated, use their functions after Garbage Cleanup.
River Flow: All remaining Garbage Tiles from River Section A goes into the Garbage Island. Push the River Tiles one block and place the original River Section A tile to River Section E.
